No one is skipping this class

NEWPORT, N.H. (AP) - July 24, 2008

But instead of kids getting a work-out, Old School P.E. is an exercise class for grownups.

The gym class for adults is offered at Rhode Island's Newport Recreation Center.

There are warm-up exercises and stretches, then friendly competition with games like dodgeball and Ultimate Frisbee.

Old School P.E. only has a few rules, including one that requires husbands and wives to play on opposite sides.

Newport Recreation director P.J. Lovely says they're a victim of their own success.

He adds they have to turn people away because there's not enough room in the gym.
