This is exactly why the media should have no say when it comes to T-mag stuff…(look at the photo and caption for it)

those sure are funny lookin’ barbells
It’s not a mistake, those are barbells. It’s obvious that this kid is a giant. Just look at how big he is compared to the other kids in the picture. Jeez people, try to be a little more observant next time.

That’s what I was thinking.

Ok, so I guess that’s better than nothing, but what ever happened to football, softball, basketball, dodgeball, track, and weightlifting? The stuff that made you actually break a sweat. Not that I wouldn’t be all over miss captian of the cheerleader squad in aerobic dance.
Well, the media doesn’t really have a say, but it sure as hell influences everyone who doesn’t know any better. Sigh.

“There needs to be some sort of minimal national fitness standard – that would be a very easy thing to establish.”
What standard would they use for this. 5 mile run time? Pull/Push ups?

In my Phy Ed days it was a 1 mile run and # of pull ups you could do. at the time I was a huge lazy fat ass and probably did about 1/8 of a pull up and walked the mile in about 20mins.
at least he didn’t drag the dumbells into the squat rack for those curls
In BC we had to do a 1 km run, standing long jump, number of situps in a minute, a timed flexed arm hang, and a forward reach.
I never liked PE because I don’t like team sports, but it sure would have been sweet to have a strength & conditioning class.
