You could be a 50 pound weakling or a 450 pound fat lady in the circus but all you had to do was show up 3/4 of the time.


However this was required of everyone , no distinction between fat and skinny people.
We had similar at UConn, but I think it was only 2 classes total.

The school has said that they want to roll this out for everyone, but don't have the funds.
