How much exercise did Chris get as a child? -

[mst3kluv]

We rarely ever see a gym (save for Pokemon gym) in OPL's drawings. Except for one instance where he is photographed as the Water Boy and Bionic. Chris never mentions PE at all. Chris was certainly not a very active child and Borb were probably too lazy/old to let him join a sports team. But they did take him to the playground in Ruckersville and where ever they lived.

Did OPL ever take mandatory PE classes? He must have because he didn't become the fat lolcow until after graduation.

Re: How much exersicise did Chris get as a child?

As a child, he probably didn't took any exersice, sure, he may have played in the playgrounds, and that burned calories, but other than that, i don't think so, remember that chris was to his parents just a retarded kid that didn't even talked...

And as a teenager, he probably didn't took any PE classes, but since he had da 'tism, nobody said anything to him, and after that, they move him in the EspecialEd class, so, there you go, none of real exercise during his school years... he was just the waterboy, because they wanted him to feel like if he was "part of da basketball team" even if he just probably sat in a corner to read goosebumps...

No reason to assume he didn't have to take PE like everyone else, since he was mainstreamed and all. Not to mention, he enjoyed swimming in the pool at the YMCA. As per his words.

Now, exercise just makes him .

Most likely he had regular exercise when he was around 2-8 years old, like most kids his age. As time passes, vidya started consuming his play and exercise time, and by the time he is in high school, he almost stopped exercising, other than being the waterboy and PE classes. By college he already transformed into our big goofy buffon.

Re: How much exersicise did Chris get as a child?

He probably did take PE, because it's mandatory in most states, I don't know if it was mandatory in Virginia at the time he was in high school. When I was in school even the sped kids had to take PE, so he wouldn't get out of it that easily.

OP is probably right, he didn't exercise much when he was a kid. He didn't have any friends or siblings to play catch or shoot hoops with, so likely he spent most of his time indoors playing vidya, just like he does now.

He was on the basketball team as a manager (my brother was a manager for the junior high basketball team, but he was more of a statistician than a water boy, and he's not sped) because it makes the sped kids feel like they're on the sports team. I'll give him credit, he was more involved with sports in high school than I was, I didn't do anything.

If Chris was in school now, they might suit him up and have him score a touchdown that doesn't count, because that's what they let sped kids do now to feel special.

When he was a younger kid, he probably ran around the playground and burned calories that way. P.E was probably mandatory in his highschool, so he probably did that (GO LANCERS!). It's not going to the gym, but it probably helped keep him slightly in shape.

Of course as has been discussed before, Chris doesn't do things unless he's made. So we know what happened once he left school...

Most kids are very active, and while chris did have video games, the time he lived in wasn't as dependent on technology as today so he would probably spend a fair amount of time outside, not to mention PE is mandatory in elementary school-highschool. He had to of had some level of exercise because he wasn't as fat as he is today back then.

I'm sure all that thrashing around and screaming he did when the teachers held him down burnt a few calories.

I am not saying that chris didn't took PE during high school, but he probably did even less than the minimum effort required for it... i mean, his life is always been that easy, i wouldn't be surprised if he had fake PE classes...

 

[tobacky_vapor]

He probably didn't get as much since he was rather sheltered and isolated as a child, so it would probably be minor things like PE and the occasional playground. Though it can be safely said he did more exercise in a month then he had ever done in hors adult life, unless you count standing up while playing guitar hero exercise.

 

[Sakamoto]

I don't think he took P.E., he's never mentioned having to run or exercise in high school. If he had done it, he would have probably either complained about how hard it was or tried to use it at proof that he's actually done some exercise in his life when he was confronted about it.

I think he got P.E. credit in school by being the water boy, because he was too "special" to go run laps with the "immature males". He was mainstreamed as far as being in a normal school, but many of his teachers were special ed teachers, so he obviously was not treated the same as the average student.

The final verdict: no one knows.

Of course he's about to drop dead from scabies, diabetes, heart problems, and everything else that everyone is completely sure of, so further speculation is pointless.
