Great post.

Fun watching kids today exercising to this song that played as the "warm-up" to Phys-Ed" back in the early 60s when I was in elementary school.

Should be required as a daily workout in ALL public schools.

I noticed the young people are all trim and fit looking!

I loved watching this. Frank Fallot of Ridgeway School in White Plains, NY had me doing this. He used to call me Cinderella. He probably couldn't remember my name, but still, I didn't figure that out back then, and he made me feel special.

We had this in elementary school in the early 60's.

I found this song about ten years ago (we were never subjected to it in gym class, but had to do MUCH worse (and more embarassing) things! I've been using this as a fun morning warm-up for myself and my kids since then, and we have a riot. I'm 50, and I attribute being able to keep up with the kids - and now grandkids - to starting my day off with this routine to get the laughter up and the blood pumping!

Fort Middle School!! Rules it's the best middle school in the world!!'

This brought back so many memories from elementary school! We used to love to exercise to Chicken Fat back in the late 60's early 70's! Kennedy was a smart man to send this to schools all across the country! Maybe we should suggest that to our current President!

As a (semi-professional) tri-athlete, ultra-marathoner, and overall endurance athlete who runs up to 100 miles a week and spends countless hours on the bike, in the pool, as well as the weight room...may God have mercy on my soul if I ever did this workout!

[jch955]

AWESOME!!! This was our rainy day routine when I was in Jr. High...this is SO funny to see!!!

[wvarnmsn]

This is for all the girls that have ever cheered at FHCS

[WrenskiBaby]

Watching this video makes me realize how much I miss teaching. I miss being involved in the lives of young people.

[npp3512007]

This certainly got our blood circulating in elementary school P.E.

[theshug1]

I wonder how many farted when they had to do the sit ups?

[sphaedra]

I remember this well.

[beccaperzon123]

Hahaha, I remember in my ol' school in Hawaii we had to run to that song every morning. Hahaha.

[rfenduhh]

[kATiEBABi0X]

[Kuch1000]

This song is forever burned in my mind after being subjected to it for years in Elementary. I could watch people doing the routine for years. I would love to hire a famous orchestra to play the song while I sang it with all of my former gym teachers performing it. Seriously.

[sealdog201]

hahahahaaha same here.

we had to watch a video for it.

and. this kid in my 3rd grade class kept singing it to me JUST to annoy me.
