00:00:56.700This footage is from one of the 4,000 U.S. high schools that followed La Sierra's physical education program that was pushed to be the standard model by JFK.
00:01:05.120According to the La Sierra physical education standards that were outlined in their 1966 handbook, the minimum push-ups that a student should be able to do is 16, and they should have at least a 7.5-minute mile run.
00:01:16.800Considering most modern Americans struggle to even complete five push-ups, this 16 minimum is quite shocking.
00:01:23.520The top group that was outlined in the handbook is Blue Team, and to be a part of this, you had to be able to perform 12 handstand push-ups.
00:01:46.280It's interesting to see beach pictures from men too, because now you see like so many overweight, chubby, big people, but then everyone was in shape.
00:02:29.480And they say, isn't it, like, oh, I think one of the reasons, there was this fat YouTuber, she was talking about, well, I'm overweight because I can't afford good food.
