Aren't there some kind of presidential fitness standards for Middle School? I remember we had pretty decent PE workouts at that age because they were pushing us to meet those marks. We had the peg board, sky ropes, nets, vert tests, pull up bars all over the gym, mile/3 mile/5 mile times etc. High school was a different story though. We would go bowling or goof of in the pool for PE. Absolutely no structure. No workout whatsoever. I always wondered why it was so different. If the other subjects were getting progressively harder....it seemed like PE should have been pushing us to the next level too.

I was in football so my PE was pretty damn hard. We had to be dressed and be in the weight room by the time the bell rung. The problem was that football had its own locker room outside of the school main campus while the gym was located in the main campus. Everyone had to literally sprint after their previous class, get dressed quick, and sprint to the weight room. From there we would have a pretty intense lifting session.
I remember those standards as well in middle school. Out here in Los Angeles we had pull up, sit up, jumping jack, running, etc. standards and it was all on a chart. I wonder if those standards were a state or national thing?
In respect to OP's question, I'm guessing many parents today would complain about their fat offspring being shamed because of their globular stature. I mean, how many parents complained because the first lady was trying to change what our collective children were eating? We are a nation of fatties who can barely climb a flight of stairs without feeling like they are going to die. A nation of folks would rather drive around and around looking for the closest spot to the front door of their favorite mall as opposed to parking in an available spot and -- gasp -- walking!
Have you seen some of the "prepper" videos/ articles on the web? These human zeppelins wouldn't last a day in the armageddon if only because they'd have to run from danger or their diabetes medication would run out.
I came across this last year...
