They never even questioned me.

It just seems like lifestyle has changed so much. Most of the guys hitting the gym in high school (or the school weight room) for the first time had been active all of their lives. There were very few (like one or two) guys in the whole school who looked so out of shape that they would have that much trouble doing a dip without swinging their legs uncontrollably.
Hell, my parents wouldn’t have allowed that. We were tossed outside to play until night time.
Obesity and this level of inexperience when it comes to anything physical was just something we never even considered. You would have had to have been locked in the house and bed ridden for that to occur.
I just don’t understand why it is so out of control now.
