Me being promoted to the person in charge of fitness for the entire clinic. I have ascended. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/576c31ea46c3c4053afa6657/1531368765418-KGH8K92AHX6TZ1NY5XD8/IMG_4233.JPG

Wasn't long ago I remember you mentioning you were struggling to pass one of the tests. Unless that was something completely different? Good job!

I wasnt struggling to pass the test i was afraid i wouldnt pass. I ended up passing though. 51 push ups, 46 sit ups, and 12:30 run time. Not my best but definitely passing.

They had a morning radio show talk about how physical fitness in public schools are virtually non-existent now. Kids only have to do very basic things to show they're "fit." Apparently there no longer is a Presidential Fitness Award because they don't want others to feel bad, haha!

When I was in middle school they started letting people who weren't sports inclined take alternative classes, computer classes, music, etc. It's odd to think that they would replace physical activity, probably the only activity those kids would get during their day, with sitting on their asses more. I was friends with the alternative class kids, because I wanted to learn computers, music, art, etc. but I also played every sport I was allowed to. I think part of the problem is once you hit a certain class or age in public schools, the PE hour becomes more about team sports and less about fitness. We went from playing games everyone could play for fun to training daily (sometimes after school) and learning strategies for competitive sports.

My thing is sports to me does not equate fitness. You cant play tennis and soccer and be "fit" sure you are more in shape than the average person who doesnt do anything. But most of the time with team sports you do other exercises as well. Football you do weighlifting and drills. Like the sport itself isnt fitness.

Listening to my 2 coworkers talk about dressing up in skimpy outfits leaving their bf at home and then going out to have dudes buy them drinks.
