1 in 3 American youngsters 12 - 19 are physically unfit
About a third of American youngsters age 12 to 19 fail treadmill tests measuring heart and respiratory health ... went to an examination center where they performed a treadmill exercise test consisting of a two-minute warm-up, two three-minute periods of exercise and a two-minute cool-down. "Approximately one third of males and females ... failed to meet current standards of acceptable cardiorespiratory endurance"
You know, once my friends and I hit puberty we had every incentive to stay in shape and get "buff" to show off to the girls. Likewise, the girls did the same to look good at our pool parties. What's wrong with kids and young adults today? Aren't they embarrassed by how dumpy-looking they are?
