In 1962, JFK gave a speech to the nation challenging them to make a "great national effort." He held the La Sierra High PE up as the model for the nation to follow. 4,000 high schools followed this program. This is the only known digitized copy of his speech. The footage shows one high school PE class. Remember, this is a normal PE class at high school. This was PE 50 years ago in America! This is just a small part of a full documentary film project we are working on that shows the "why" behind vigorous physical exercise. It has interviews with top MD's and Ph.D's from Harvard Medical School, MIT, Cleveland Clinic, MUSC, etc., and summarizes over 1,000 peer-reviewed studies linking vigorous physical exercise to emotional health, high academic test scores, and productivity.
This is not about our waistline. We plan to bring it to theaters in the summer of 2016. Help us make this film a reality. Consider supporting the full documentary film project here: www.indiegogo....
You can also order the "Strength & Endurance Routine" which was the "secret sauce" this school used 50 years ago to get the kids in amazing shape. This "SE Routine" was filmed in the original gym and includes a 2-bundle package of a 40-minute instruction video and a 12-minute routine video. www.reelhouse....

+12Toastie - The inside scene with the boys in the white shorts were the freshman (normal) students...when you saw gold shorts, those were the advanced. This was the entire school. It was mandatory for every single student to participate. Initially it was just the boys, since the girls were separate for PE and their teacher didn't follow this program, but after Title 9 in CA, everyone did it. I have footage...the entire school looked like this.
I'm curious: Did this school run a similar program to increase academic achievement? I'm supposing they did not. Physical education should be part of every grade, but let's not lose sight of the fact that it's academics that get kids a future.
Imagine an entire country of men like that. The idea scares the shit out of the Liberal elites... they want/need a country of timid, stupid people that are easy to manipulate...
Of course, a fit person is mentally healthier and more happy with himself. He won't buy all the shit that people try to sell him. That's the last thing our liberal overlords want. Weak consumers is what they need, too dependend on the system and too weak to fight it.
How easy it is to surprise people far from sports
This is just a normal boys for me. They even seem small to me. In our time, their level is reached in a couple of months.
But it's still good that they at least somehow went in sports. In our time, no one is involved so massively

@@scandalouspanda7489 I dont think its being a "dick" I think its more like a way of making them want to lose their weight. Getting bullied all the time for being fat would make you not want to be fat and lose weight. But as they said some people today think it is healthy to be overweight.

True story here: at age 14, before COVID hit, my son was 210 pounds of fat, played video games, ate junk, and basically could not run even 50 yards. Good kid but just obese, slow lumbering sort of pleasant young man. Somewhat depressed also. Then COVID hit. My daughter asked me to buy a treadmill so she could exercise in the garage after her online school etc. I thought it was going to be another useless purchase but the daughter never asks for anything so I went ahead and bought a decent mid-priced treadmill. I put it in the garage. The daughter started using it. One day, about a week later, to my surprise I noticed my son out in the garage get on it and try to walk/run for about 3 minutes. I said nothing to him as he was very self conscious. Anyway, after that day he started going on that treadmill everyday. First he walked a bit, then he started running on it, but he did it everyday. He literally did not take a day off, at all. Fast forward 6 months and he had lost around 50 pounds and was running 3 miles minimum everyday and doing pull ups etc. Then, miracle of miracles, he decided to join the high school track team in 400 meter hurdles and actually competed in all the meets all season. He did not win any meets, but to me he was the biggest winner of all. A kid who could not run 50 yards at age 14/15, running 400 meters in regional high school meets and being competitive with the best of the regional runners. To this day, he exercises everyday.... running, weights etc. He is a good kid. Now he has graduated from high school and I hope he continues to keep himself healthy in life. Just wanted to share this little story.

@@hellogais2177 Trust me, we don't recover from every injuries when you practice sports. Ask high level athletes and you'll be surprised how sport can be dangerous. Of course it will solve a problem but you'll have an other one just after.

I'm telling you cause I practice myself a lot of sport and I can't fully use my wrist since 1 year after a bad fall in judo. And what I have is little compare of many others athletes who can't even walk properly during the rest of their life after big injuries during their young age.

clevelandphil Actually, there were black kids at the school during this time, but just not that many. Later in the PE program, there were actually black kids and girls. There was no racism or feminism going on. It was just how it was in the area. All good!
jim bentley Interesting that there are only tall, naturally slim guys. There are no short and not obese but stubby guys.
If you go to school with that kind of physice nowadays you'd be looked at like a young god.
That's just sad
Yup
Depends on which person. There were a few people that were pretty built while also being lean, but mos of them were thinner. Pretty sure at any time if you looked like the best example here you would be considered very handsome.
They were slimmer but also you have to consider people were shorter and in smaller overall stature back then. My grandpa was one of the tallest basketball players in his conference at only 6'1'. Nowadays 6'1' is likely to be too short to make the team unless you're a point guard.
Dang our generation sucks... "body positivity" and "I don't like gym class"
Well people nowadays dont have the time and money to be fit. Lots millennials are barely scraping off with their minimum wage, some even dropping out highschool to work just to live. You know theres a problem when trying to eat healthy is more expensive than getting a whole ass meal from mcdonalds. Some people just dont have the time and money. Really just depends on the person really. By 16 i was working so i could buy stuff for myself knowing that my parents cant provide for me. Though i dont deny the fact that there are people that is obese from a fault of their own. I just feel bad for the kids that werent fed properly and turned obese.

I don't think it would be good for some people. And most would certainly not enjoy it. If schools had this to be mandatory I don't think it would be good for kids. yes physical education would be important to get obesity levels down, but this way in my opinion could be negative for some people.
The Default Trash Bags Productions it cant be negative its proven than being fit helps you be smarter and it is fun everyone I know enjoyed sports and our school wins state championships for 5 years in a row we always had great days at the end of the week where we would play games
I always hated sports didn't see the point in it. To me why am I here doing fuck all when I could be learning something or doing something I would find fun like music or art. I don't think P.E benefited me and most of my friends agree with that, that they would prefer to do something else other than do P.E I think it should be an option and a recommendation and have some reward with it so students take part but it should not be forced.
I wish I lived in that time and went to that school .

tasicjeshmeker "because you are poisoned with GMO" Can you provide some evidence that GMO is bad? If so, do you think all GMO is bad or just some?
LightInTheNight1337 One study showed that the in guinea pigs that ate GM tomato eventually developed stomach ulcers. Those mice that ate genetically modified soy had damaged the liver, pancreas, and testes, while this strain of rabbits led to kidney patients and serious heart problems.
For example, the ingredients from GM soy change the DNA of friendly bacteria that normally live in our bodies, turning them against us. Also, toxic substances from genetically modified maize were found in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn babies. Since 1996, when it was first served a meal consisting of GM foods, until today, the number of Americans suffering from one or more chronic diseases jumped is as much as 10 percent. Food allergies are more common, and more and more children with autism, people with problematic digestive system, as well as those battles are fought with infertility. Doctors warn that more and more women who have elevated secretion of the hormone IGF-1 directly associated with breast cancer, a good portion of them drank the milk of cows that have been injected growth hormone.

Also, according to these 'leaders' teaching handwriting took too long and used too many resources in the elementary levels. Then there is the problem of legibility - and the issue with how it made those that couldn't write clearly.

The most effective to get lean.
@@fitnesswithsaswatsahoo2116 the most effective way to get lean is being on a calorie deficit. Lifting wheights or using your bodyweight is the same for your body, your muscle can't distinguish if the resistance comes from a barbell, a kettlebell, your body or a rock. So the fact that they're doing bodyweight training doesn't mean that this was the only way (or the best) to get fit. The important thing is that they're training great compound movements (like vertical pull, horizontal pull and so on), core stability etc...
I was the fat kid almost all my life, I then started eating better, less and training. THATS IT

Thank you.
Cole Bevans I agree! We learnt different sports in our PE programs in Australia, instead of general physical strength, fitness and endurance training. Our sports training lasted a couple of PE lessons, and then the teachers would change it up to move on with the curriculum and we'd never actually learn the sport properly end-to-end anyway, which was a total waste of time.
Most of us were lazy and made excuses not to work hard in PE, because we just found it so boring and unmotivating. The only girls who were fit were those who played team sports on the weekends outside of school (because their parents made them to from young) or those who joined a gym after graduation and got fit after high school because they realized it was time.
Damn, i really needed something like this when I was in highschool.
Why hasn't this been the norm?
Because Americans think it’s the parents responsibility, not the governments, to develop their child’s mental and physical needs. But I agree w you, I remember being a chubby kid in HS asking my Mom to let me take a bowling elective instead of PE because I didn’t want to move and she did it. As an adult, I look back and I wish she had forced me to move.

You guys are putting too much emphasis on the soft/hard dichotomy. These teachers didn't just start shoving kids up trees. There was a lot of emphasis on technique and not hurting yourself.
"“There were no injuries we’ve found,” Orchard says. “If you got the flu and were out a month, you had to re-test. The intensity and volume were crazy, but there was a progression. Their entire freshman year, they spent a long time just learning how to breathe correctly.”"
It was actually well thought out and programmed. When I went to school in the 90s it was basically here's a ball go kick it or run around in a circle. Looking back It's like what were we doing and what did we get out of this. Nobody managed to put on any muscle or get in any kind of shape.

I think what we should do is have PE classes that focus on encouraging people to better themselves physically. Have everyone who is a beginner, overweight in a class together and then people who are intermediate level in a class together and then people who are advanced/fit in a class together so that everyone is on the same level and playing field with one another instead of having everyone mixed together and expected to do the same thing. Yes its good to get people moving and in shape but we need to also meet people where they are at. Many people who are overweight get discouraged and end up dreading gym class cuz they are mixed in a group of people who are more Athletic than them and feel inadequate in comparison which makes them not want to even try. We should implement a physical fitness program in schools for all students but at least have a bit of customization to where the program meets people where they are at instead of just doing a blanket one size fits all for eveyone.
"EIHierroBrujo" But also who will pay for the stress fractures and broken wrists and hospitalizations for injuries?
Honestly, this is the best idea.
I'm not saying give everyone a trophy, but I do think it's important to have people train at their level. Overtraining leads to injuries at the best of times in even the most athletic of individuals. Instead, find what level people are at and help them build up from there, while giving them goals to strive towards and encouragement to reach them.

You don't need a program in high school. Just join a local health club and hire a personal trainer to supervise your workouts. Your parent(s) may be willing to spend money on a trainer.

What fascinates me the most was that this was daily life. PE class was just bodybuilding time. Nowadays with us being out of shape, we need to dedicate much time and effort to reach this level, but for these kids it was just their regular day to day life. Very efficient.
I’d be so tired coming home from PE and AP classes if we did this😂
it wasn't. This was just a program the military setup for recruiting HS students
@@isislacuesta7114 That is another side of the story.
@@RiFeX2703 My dad used to say that. That PE is to keep young males fit to be recruited. It is a good idea. National defense is important. But also it is only for those most likely to be able to tolerate it. People with asthma, food allergies, cystic fibrosis, and club feet (to name a few) would automatically not qualify for the program.
"Nando Cordeiro" True. Lifestyle was different back then.
I'm an elementary PE teacher. We can't force anyone to do anything. We are considered mean and will get into trouble with our district if we even raise our voice to our students. True Story. Our Nation is failing. We will be like the movie WALL-E in 100 years
idk where you teach but my PE teacher yells at me all the time
Teach Your Class Off by CJ Reynolds is a great book about teaching, I recommend it.
Yelling at students is only going to make them hate PE class. My PE teachers never taught me how to enjoy exercise and never explained its benefits. They all focused on sports that required strength and speed, and almost never taught sports that required balance, endurance, or finesse. It was only after leaving HS and educating myself that I came to understand the benefits of exercise, and to enjoy it. As I approach retirement age, I am still exercising and I am in better shape than 95% of my peers, who are mostly overweight and could not run a mile if their life depended upon it.
How true that is. Experienced it live in BCPS. No wonder we have so many health problems in USA. Shame shame. We are doing such a disservice to our young people now a days!! Sad

That’s ridiculous. Teen pregnancies are more common than ever now, and it’s not unheard of for cases of teen pregnancies happening before the kids even get to high school. Even when I was in high school 15 years ago we had multiple teen pregnancies, and my school wasn’t that big(a little over a thousand students). Kids getting pregnant in high school was definitely not that common back in the time of this video. Many of them got married and pregnant as soon as they graduated, but you definitely didn’t have middle schoolers getting pregnant, unlike now.
Now America is in an obesity crisis lmao.
All the fatass kids and their participation trophies
Well its going to stay this way unless they 1. figure it out themselves and see "Hey this shit isn't healthy, and if im going to sit on my ass all day anyways i might as well workout for a bit" 2. give them a fun way to lose that weight and become healthy without really trying. 3. Teach actual health from a young age trust me this will work, The "health classes" stuck with me because when i was trying to lose weight i thought back to them but we have to teach what actually works (Calories in vs calories out, How much protein you should eat, Good foods) This is probs the only way, Along with promoting sports if they understand calories protein etc they can even excel at sports themselves without a coach. I mean all i was taught in healthy classes was "good foods" so veggies, and chicken and stuff. So i thought thats all i needed to lose weight was to just eat healthy. But you can eat as healthy as you want if you are eating to much, You will still be fat. Anyways alot of people get fat not because they are lazy Unless they are 600 pounds. its because they eat a bit to much (200-500 calories and on cheat days even more) daily and over long periods of time (From childhood 11-13 to adult) become fat. Its a very long bulk essentially. Just saying because alot of ppl like to call them lazy and tell them "eat healthy" none of that helps and will only hurt them.
Bottom line, the word "discipline", is due for a comeback to basic corporative acceptance.

The Dr. who says "it's a sad commentary" runs 110 miles on races in the Sierra's...so yes. You're right. They are crazy fit to this day...probably better in their late 60's and early 70's than 99% of our teenagers today. Inspiring. Imagine if all the baby boomers were that way! Our healthcare costs would be manageable.
That's amazing. A story like that makes a contribution worth while.
Let me attest to these video being accurate, at least in California. While not everyone was as lean and strong as shown. 90% were and the bottom 10%. They had psychical issues, weak hearts, asthma, etc. I saw class times in the mile, that would impress today's track coaches. Today's PE classes offer zero psychical benefit, they are a complete waste of time and money. A sad joke. 90% of the students are simply fat and or out of shape. The 10% who are in good shape. They go to a gym outside of school, work out on their own, do after school sports.
I don't see why schools are responsible for physicla fitness. Anyone can exercise anywhere, hell, you can even exercise sitting down in a plane! Schools should teach health, disease prevention, how to eat properly, basic food science. And it's about 60 to 40 rather than a 90 to 10 ratio. And Phys ed has nothing to do with why Baby Boomers are more athletic. Their lifestyles were simply more active.
You probably went to school, passed and didn't think about what school was for. "Whats the point of what were learning?" or "this is dumb why do we have to know this, I'm never going to use this". Fine, youll just be sitting at a computer and working all day for the rest of your life, your muscles will slowly atrophy and you wont be able to participate in the lives of your children and grandchildren. I say its pathetic to suggest physical education should be PHYSICALLY tested. So sometimes you have to not only teach, but also test the ability for the student to apply what has been taught. JKF knew the connection between our physical health and our mental health to be significant.
greenelephant1231 when you kid is in a public school from 8am to 3 or 4 pm you are going to spend the time getting dinner ready, educating your kids on proper nutrition, breathing, movement, and progression for exercise? And then go and actually do the workouts etc? It’s not the best way to schedule your time when there are many other necessities in life.
These programs were from a time when people believed in government programs and believed that public schools should develop the mind, body and soul of the nation’s youth so there would be a better future for all. Now government is bad and citizens are now called taxpayers and told everything must be cut because there is no money. Will that bring prosperity?
Now that I realize, most of the "fit" kids on my school have another type of second training outside of school, and it makes sense.

the program was a 12 minute daily routine of a 400m run and a series of exercises. that was every day.

Breaking Muscle has a video on the routine. Just search for "Classical Physical Education" and it'll be a video that pops up.
When I was little in the 60's, our high school had discus throwing pads, pole vault runways and sand pits, tire obstacle courses for football training, etc. I used to go there to run and jump in the sand. When I started high school in the mid 70's, the hallways were lined with old black-and-white photos of school athletes from the 50's and 60's who had won various awards. But all the outdoor track-and-field facilities were gone. Phys. Ed. was a shadow of its former self. The indoor gym storage room was filled with gymnastic equipment, pommel horses and stuff, that was no longer used. When I enquired about this, I was told it was because of lawsuits and liability. When a few of us tried to play soccer on the school field on the weekends, a security guard appeared to kick us off because we didn't have a permit. And that was in the 70's.

I was in high school in the early 1960's. Our gym (physical education) coach was inspired by JFK and he ran our asses into the ground. We did pull-ups, push-ups, and other calisthenics and then ran a 2.5 mile long distance course. That was 3 times a week. When I graduated I joined the Marine Corps and was in such good shape that in boot camp I excelled every time we had a physical fitness test.
"Dr. Pepper" An 80 year old friend of mine said that when he was in the military sometime in the 1920s that the physical requirements were no problem for him.

I was in the last graduating class at LSHS in 1983. I made it to Blues, and you'll see in this clip that all the guys are mostly gold shorts or purple shorts, which indicated a high standard of tested achievement (levels went from White shorts to Red, Blue, Purple, Gold and Navy Blue. Many made purple,some made gold and only a select few ever made Navy). So this is a promo film and wasnt necessarily a typical PE class. Close though, and when I went there, accountability still meant something. the coaches/PE teachers did not coddle anyone on the test standards. I myself was tortured into fitness by Coach
Al Hooker. And if you were a fat emo snowflake who put in no effort and were stuck wearing white shorts, you were singled out and likely failed PE. Back then though snowflakes and emos were just starting to be a thing.

Singling people about because they lack physical skills is bullying. Just like singling a person out because they lack intelligence. Some of these things are just the luck of the genetic draw. While everyone should be encouraged to improve, and from what I've been reading this program was intended to do that, the bullying of people is just wrong.

When I was in high school in the 1980s, our gym class consisted of several units where a certain sport would be taught like tennis, basketball, wrestling, archery, and things like that. We also had a unit on dance as well as a unit on bowling using rubber bowling balls. The dance unit was always kind of a joke because they taught us dances from the 1920s like the Charleston and the jitterbug and shit like that. In junior high school, we had to take swimming as well because the junior high school had a pool.

These dudes were doing flagpoles in high school🤯
I really love the idea behind this program and how effective it seems to be. I mean the students you see in the video are absolutely shredded! There's no way a program like this, if implemented correctly, wouldn't shape America and Americans for the better. My only concern is how sensitive we have become in terms of physically educating children. Information is so instantaneous and widespread I fear that one single abuse scandal or coach going to far puts the whole program at risk of being shutdown.
Great point. We'll try to preempt that concern in the documentary. The program historically did not have the injury problems that we have today. However, if coaches try to just "implement" this without taking into account the postural deviations of today's youth, or have them try to progress without following the rational training structure that existed with this historic approach, they would possibly have similar injury rates that our youth are experiencing in today's activities. They key is knowledge. Please understand the program didn't start like this for the boys. This was not 'day 1.' This was rational training. This program worked because the coaches received quality instruction, and then provided that quality instruction to the student leaders and to the students. This focus on quality was easier to inspect since all students worked through their patterns in unison.
there's no way it would happen in this day and age
So you don't fear the rape scandel yet you fear the shutdown as a result? very intersting priorities

Very few got the award. These days you just show up for soccer practice and some guy is handing you a trophy just for participating.

However, though a person after reaching the age of about 20 may not use a lot, or any of what a lot of people would consider the "crap" learned in high school which now-a-days could be at least a basic understanding of environmental science, literature, creative writing, critical thinking, algebra, biology, organic chemistry, social studies, civics, (etc) the average person just should be well educated because it is a safeguard and serves a purpose. What if a person decides later in life to change careers? What if a person decides to try for higher-skilled work? As society gets more technological people need understand computers and electronics. It seems being better educated prepares you for life in the civilized world, unless you intend to move to a hidden jungle somewhere and live eating nuts from trees and hunting with a spear. Actually if you understand physics, you can understand that building a mud hut should be done a certain way so that it does not fall over when the wind blows. Also, that you often need to aim higher than your exact target when throwing your spear a far distance .
The idea that a mind is a terrible thing to waste has been taken over by a mentality of entitlement and laziness..
My parents actually never sent me to school.
When I was in my mid 20s I had to catch up to what a lot of elementary schoolers already learned but I decided to go to college. My dad who was a kid in the 1920s thought that there are shortcuts and he quit school at 8th grade because he believed he knew more than any of the teachers.
He said that schools cannot help you find a job after you graduate.
My older friend who had an excellent education back in the 1950s told me that it is not the job of schools to find employment for people. And the purpose is to help you understand reality so that later in adult life, you can think and reason and when you go to a doctor and he tells you to eat a better diet you don't think that it means eating ketchup as a vegetable and also, being better educated will help you in eventually finding employment unless you are inherently a very senseless person or for some other reason are not easily employable such as you are handicapped.
Furthermore a person has to be very lucky to have a good enough education to obtain all "excessive" knowledge as a lot of schools in the US ( and elsewhere in the world) are not run the right way and/or do not have enough funding or the right administration so as to provide a good education for a lot of kids who are going to go into the workforce and hopefully become the kind of people who can benefit society and the economy . After all, the rest of the world has to be concerned with whether there will be a lot of drop outs not only of school but of society and who will only become welfare recipients, or homeless people or drug addicted unemployable people who cannot benefit the economy or society but will require resources and tax money to be given services for their rehabilitation, their housing, and other needs that they are not working for.
Im a custodian at a school and you wouldn't belive how sorry some of these kids parents are. They would call this child abuse now adays. Im only 20 but this motivates the hell out of me. I want to see what im like at my best and have a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Notice the division of the students
Compare to the previous generations

@OakeDoki how's it going? Did you keep up with it?
@@Guy-lk3rw The only anime I watch is Attack On Titan thats it so I dont think weeb applys but what ever helps you sleep at night 😂😂
"XANNIIIE" To be fair, a lot of kids were pressured in the past, especially boys in little league.
Take a look at the students now. They are in their 60's and are still in great shape. Teaching kids health and fitness early and it will keep them fit and healthy for the rest of their lives.
today it's considered to be OK to be overweight or obese and just ACCEPT who you are no matter what size. What a load of shit we have today compared to back then.
Anonland seriously have no idea why fat shaming is disregarded today in today's society. I mean we all make fat kids' lives hell, but where does the voice of the opposition, i.e. the fatties defending fatties, getting all their influence and voice amplifiers from?
When you watch the boys on the parallel bars, and every single one has an 8 pack...
I know!
More like a 12 pack
the number of "packs" is in the genetics, even the hardest working bodybuilders sometime have only 6 , doesnt make them weaker .
