I'm so old, I never had to to do the Presidential Physical Fitness thing myself. But I could do a ton of chin ups on the pole that held up the clothes line until I finally got hips and boobs around the beginning of 8th grade. Before that, I just didn't have that much weight to pull up. I'll have to have the boys show me how to dead hang and hopefully not hang dead. They like to show me how to lift weights and the like so they can laugh at me. But they did brag on me when I finally benched 100 lbs again.
Was it King George's physical fitness back then or did we have the articles during that timeframe.
