At School we did a 'keep fit' session as part of the DOE scheme. Among other things the expectation was 30 press ups and 75 sit-ups. The only good day at School was a Wednesday - swimming in the new pool at Troutbeck Bridge in the morning, back there at Lunchtime if we were lucky for a kayak session or on the new fangled climbing wall, 'Games' in the afternoon, which for me usually meant a run up Orrest Head and then this keep fit session after school. Nearly everything else at school was a pile of poo....
Incidentally someone called Paul was there at a similar time and showed great interest in the new climbing wall. His own are much, much better!
I went to secondary school in the 70s and gym sessions were all rope climbs, pull-ups, press-ups and sit-ups. Interesting how press-up styles have changed from elbows out to elbows tucked in, and how sit-ups are becoming taboo, due to back issues. I'd never heard of 'a plank' until my 30s !!
