History class doesn't believe teacher exercises My history teacher is one of those older fat guys, near retirement age. Not huge, but definitely doesn't look like he has any muscle tone. He mentioned something about going to the gym, and one of the students asked, "What were you doing at the gym?" He claims to "work out" 3 times a week (at 5am), lifting weights. Doesn't look like it. I don't doubt that he "exercises", but it's probably more along the lines of doing yoga for 20 minutes with 5lb dumbbells than actual strength training.
