So that's where Parkour was invented. Didn't see that coming.
i wouldn’t mind if my school gym class turned us all into gymnasts
Most of these young men probably would’ve died during the war. Deep
Man, can you imagine all of the US congress doing that today! I would love to see that. Preferably televised.
They did it to prepare for war, but accidentally built a foundation of "healthy body, healthy mind" society for a while, which is why 60s USA was AMAZING.
Even the nerds were
wow voices sound so different compared to rn
It’s time for me to incorporate those types of jumping jacks into my workout routine
Dude on the far right packing
Let’s bring this back. 💪🏾
Keeping physically fit is one of the best things you can do for your mental health.
Most of these boys
PE back then:
Fitness is essential to living your best life possible, anyone who tries to say or promote otherwise is trying to sabotage you
I’m was born in 1981 in Sweden and we did these types of gymnastics at school, alongside other sports. Good times!
This would have been super fun to do at school, but even dodgeball was outlawed in my state. I ended up doing all of these calisthenics and gymnastics exercises as warm-ups when I joined my university's MMA/grappling club, especially jumping into forward and backward rolls. It was a blast and I became so much more agile.
these exercises are still mandatory throughout schools in eastern europe, and even university
Wish they did that for me at school. They got hella lazy in my graduating year (2017) when we were taught by a lazy gym teacher who basically had half the class sit the whole time
I did this sort of exercises when i did P.E at school in the 1970's even down to the P.E kit except we didn't wear pilmsolls
and Most if not all of these people are now deceased. One day I too shall grow old and fade away, and the river of time shall flow forever onward. Ahh life, you both amaze yet frighten me.
