It was notable for taking a “whole man” approach to fitness in the belief that fitness was essential for the mind, and where everyone was expected to go all out and give 100% effort.
It was very much a product of a society where idealism hadn’t yet given way to cynicism.
I can’t wait for the comments blah blah blah in my day everyone was fit blah blah then we all died against our will in violent wars of imperialism in gruesome disgusting ways blah
The boomer comments about how fat and lazy the kids are today as if they didn’t have a hand in ducking up our food and removing PR requirements. Boomers took on the leadership roles and systematically wrecked them.
Looks more like a military boot camp
Zero obese guys.
Why do they look like they’re 20s-30s?
Wow…look how fit they all looked back then, amazing photo
Notice no fat kids like there is today 🤷♂️
What a photo…everyone looked so healthy and fit back then….fast forward to today, and it’s a totally different story. What happened 🙁
Repost bot recommended, Bryan Singer approved
Not gonna lie. I think this is awesome. I would’ve gotten laid a lot more in college if I was cut like these guys.
They’re getting a high ride! But, the shorts aren’t preventing them from doing what they need to do.
Must be a Hollywood film version. That guy front and centre looks like he’s 26
Back when America was great?
These <18 boys look old
Socks sucked back then LMAO
None of them are overweight
La Sierra High School.

Now everyone in America is a fat ass with purple hair
That dude in the front is like 40

This was 6th period PE at my high school
Nothing worse than going to PE and hearing from the teacher “gentlemen, 6 laps”. 🤣
You should see high school students.
In grade 8 I had a teacher who instilled in me a love of working out. Many years later I am still fit.

Now that these guys are all dead or dying, we have the California we have today.
Cannon fodder for proxy wars against the Soviet Union. Before it became more profitable to just get people addicted to junk food.
Ah, the classic gym class struggle!

It’s easy to be shredded when your metabolism lets you eat everything.
No.
Certainly not North American high school kids from the 50s.
Every kid had the same athletic body type and haircut??
No.
What is this? Lindsey Graham fantasy camp?
Exercising is not equitable. We all have to be as unhealthy as the least healthy guy. Anything else is racist.
Forget the (very real) impact of ultra processed foods, artificial sweeteners, .etc
Can you imagine the absolute uproar today if children were forced to do anything remotely close to what these guys did?
Unfortunately exercise like this would never fly in today’s society
