Fats are always falling down A couple days ago in my gym class, we were playing volleyball. Two small-fat girls were on the same team. The ball goes over to their side, they don't even get close to it, they just bump into each other and roll onto the floor. The gym floors are hard, but they didn't even look hurt. It's like they have fluffy pillows all over there bodies. The next day we all went to snowshoe outside, and one of those same fat girls fell down like 10 times. Again, not hurt at all and rolled back onto her feet.  In this gym class we also have heart rate monitors to show "how hard we're working". What it really shows is how out of shape most of the class is. If you're already fit, you risk not getting full credit because you have to be sprinting to get the heart rate monitor into the "activity zone". Meanwhile the fats/nonathletic kids get their heart rates up just from walking 2 feet or kicking a ball.
