The Motivation Factor - Official Trailer -

[@normgold916]

I attended La Sierra HS from 1959 to 1963, and was never considered an "athlete". But I was challenged every day by the P.E. program, and progressed from white to red to blue trunks! Fitness became a part of my life. Now -- at 71 -- I am in great shape, and just cycled almost 500 miles over 16 days in Galicia, Spain, climbing over 43,000 feet of ascents. I believe I owe my life and my lifelong love of healthy activity to this P.E. program! Can't wait to see the full film!

"Overweight and obese people at higher risk of COVID-19" "About 40 percent of U.S. adults are obese, government survey finds." These are two headlines I saw in the last two weeks. We got soft and weak as Charmin (which we are out of, by the way). The video said people need to be motivated. Participation trophies and a coddling mindset doesn't emphasize that, or toughen our children for the real world, mentally or physically. And now, people are going to die because we are at 40 percent, the most obese industrialized country in the world.

I attended La Sierra 1960 - 1964. It was the best experience of my life. I was the 1st - first year freshman to achieve Gold. Now at 77 I still try to keep in shape... I told my wife when she gives me a bad time about maybe a little bit of a belly, I told her, I am 150 lbs, that is 12 lbs less than I was when I graduated from La Sierra. She replies yep, but that was all muscle and probably 0% body fat...she is usually right. I also set record , 500 extension press ups. Great Memories.

[@ErtixPoke]

Not everyone is like you. Many people really hated these lessons so I'm not surprised of them. If we consider it as an enforcement of a state to try to make a soldiers out of people then this programme is really crazy. If America is a land of freedom, then no one should be forced to do this. I don't get your hypocrisy, dear Americans. But, if military as an institution wouldn't exsist in the world and wouldn't force males to kill themselves, then this programme is very good for international economy and globalist system to make males athletic. To achieve a global standards for this whole male race would have to be more collectivist. For example, this could help us in enforcement a love and play sports. Especially football (soccer in America) which is the most popular sport in the world. But what with people with disease like an epilepsy? Should they also be forced to do this?

[@j.lebowski3917]

I attended Prescott which modeled their PE program after La Sierra's. Looking back it was great. You learn that you're much more capable than you mind is telling you.

[@Nero-ox5tw]

I went to high school in England during the early 2010’s. The most challenging exercise we were faced with was the “bleep test”. We never did any body weight or free weight exercise. I think once we could do pull ups in the gymnastics section of the sport facilities but that’s it. We played football, rugby, cricket, rounders, dodgeball, badminton, volleyball, handball, basketball, gymnastics, and athletics. The most loathed sport was cross country, which we were tasked with completing twice a year up until the final year of school. Our PE curriculum wasn’t terrible, but you could easily get out of doing it, and the PE teachers weren’t all to enthused with the idea of actively motivating the pupils to push themselves. So that left for a rather obvious trend of lazy students becoming fatter, and the more athletic students having more freedom because of the lack of competition to get on school teams. From memory, I’d say that a total of 5-10 students had exteriors that resembled the physiques seen in this video, myself being one of them. But that was only because we all did our own training outside of school. Not because physical education shaped us into toned and muscular teenagers.
