    I’m one of those few lucky people that finds it relatively easy to exercise (and be decently good at it), so I was often that weird dweeb that loved DBZ that would win in sports day, score in football games, make the top four consistently in tennis, win the 1500m, etc. I was that weird kid that loved the bleep test, because it was something I was good at.

    My experience was very similar in PE. Popular people would get cheered on, I’d dominate them, and it would be met with a mixture of indifference and annoyance that I wasn’t unfit like everyone else I hung around with to discuss the intricacies of Neon Genesis Evangelion at lunch time.

      That sounds really weird to me. Nobody cheered when I had PE because nobody gave a fuck. The only cheers you would hear were sarcastic. Nobody gave a fuck since everyone who cared for sports was a member of a sports club outside of school and they’d rather be training at the club than waste time and energy in PE.

    I figured out the secret to P.E. in school.

    I just didn’t go. I skipped almost every gym class from 7th grade to senior year. I was able to talk my way out of getting an F somehow so I never got held back or anything despite literally never going for years at a time.

        Because I’m akward AF and have absolutely no hand-eye coordination. I dont believe in hell but if there is one its a never ending PE class for me. I always got picked last on every team I’d ever been on and the kids made fun of me.

        Let me tell you a story, one that I don’t like sharing IRL.

        One time my pe teacher started getting on my case about attendance again, so I decided to go (big mistake).

        That day we were doing indoor sports and I had to do baseball. It was my turn at bat; swing one, two, three, I’m out, or so I thought. Then the teacher said the most cruel words I can remember in high school, “no outs. Keep swinging”. So there I stood, desperately trying to hit the fucking ball. Swing ten, swing fifteen. The whole class was laughing at me. Swing thirty, swing thirty five. “Come on its the same fucking pitch hit the ball loser”. Swing forty, swing sixty. Then finally, mercifully, I managed to somehow bunt the ball. I tried to just walk away but the teacher made me go to first base. I walked to first base basically in tears where they promptly tagged me with the ball and I walked off the field.

        I think he didn’t want me to feel bad for striking out but it was so much worse. I didn’t go back to gym after that and the teacher never said anything again.

    I have a theory that the Naruto run works as a placebo.

    Placebo works like a mental buff, you believe more in yourself and perform better.

      Isn’t that how Naruto wins the fights too? He just believes in himself and the power of friendship, so he gets stronger.

      So anon is lore accurate

      If you watch olympic sprinters, they’re bent over to the same extent. I’m pretty drunk so this explanation might suck, but the front-heavy weight distribution that comes with it means its much easier to propell yourself forwards while sprinting.

      Of course, you can’t hold your arms like that, it was just for ease of animation. But it’s not 100% totally and all-consumingly bullshit. Just like. Mostly bullshit.

        Yes, you want to push your mass as horizontally as possible, which will be limited by the grip under your feet. Vertical motion is wasted energy, but if you’re full horizontal you’ll just slip.

    Well, your problem seems to begin and end with being a weeb, so how about not making anime your personality and get some bitches.

      and what’s wrong with that? Some people could use a good squeaky hammer to the face once in a minute.

      If it doesn’t works, you need to sharpen your hammer.
