PE

[Aerith's Knight]

Oh, I suddenly remember one of the stupidest and most awesome PE ever.

It was a form of dodgeball. You have 2 GIANT mats, I mean like those things they use in height jumping at the olympics. Both teams had one, and you had to have people hold it on its side, keep it from falling over, while the rest throws balls at the people of the other team. If the mat falls, you lose.

I was the biggest (6' by age 14) dude in the entire year, so I was always holding the mat. And because the other team needed 4 or 5 kids to hold that thing in place, while I was there by myself, yawning, that was the only time I actually got picked first (except for the aforementioned basketball and hockey. And I'll hurt you for that yet, Paul.), seeing as the one with more throwers in dodgeball usually wins.

I thought it was the physics class for challenged kids.

I was a very very very bored child. I have literally played EVERY available sport in the entire region, ranging from 6 months to 5 years. This includes such classics as Soccer, baseball, football, basketball, tennis, kayaking, judo, tae kwan do, karate, jujitsu, archery, volleyball, handball, hockey and many many more. I have/had dozens of trophies and ribbons stashed around my room.

I was a jack of all trades, luckely, because everyone knew this, and nobody likes to be picked last.

I hated it because it was just really annoying. I don't like working out in the middle of a class day. I was always really late to my next class because they had to use every ounce of class time so we didn't have enough time to change and get to class on time. I was always worried that I smelled horrible because we didn't have time to shower

I like my jogging class so much more and it's a lot more grueling than PE ever was. I have a lot of free time between my academic classes and my jogging class and nothing after. I can just take a nice long shower and then chill out!

Can you guys remember when you had to do rings in PE? When you had to powder your hands in? God, was that pandemonium when the teacher wasn't present. xD

I smacked a girl on the ass with that, showed a hand print the entire lesson. Got a Christmas card from her too. xP

I enjoyed PE. I was best at basketball and soccer (I played on my high school's team for both).

I didn't like PE at first, but I later into high school I really enjoyed it. I was best at football, basketball and running the mile (lol). I was usually quarterback in football even if I did like running the ball more. =\

Wait. I didn't get to jump on a trampoline for PE credit. What kind of backwards fascist commie nation do you people live in?

Second.

PE was more of a fun break between lessons than anything serious. Anyone do something called fitness? It's basically where you ran indoor circuits doing little activities, and the teacher used to play godawful music while we did it. xD It's hard to do any exercise seriously when you got the Bee Gees blaring at you.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Haha, no. The only things we did were stretch and do a warm up half-mile, then play sports or lift weights. I think it was every two weeks we'd run a timed mile though.

At my school the girls got to take it easy. The most grueling thing we ever did was crab soccer.

In my opinion kids need to do more PE. It builds character and sets yourself up for good fitness later in life. I wish I'd been more involved in PE as a kid since now I freakin' love personal fitness.

[Jessweeee♪]

Nah, it's not gonna stick when you just force them onto it. If they don't have the right attitude about it they'll just hate it! I mean just look at those poor souls in Illinois that have to take it every year K-12 D:

I used to be pretty good at the high jump, when we got a chance to do anything other than ENDLESS, ENDLESS RUGBY IN THE RAINSWEPT MUD OF THE SCHOOL FIELD, COME HAIL, COME SLEET, COME SNOW, COME ANY TEMPEST OF PRECIPITATE BEFOULING OUR BARREN HOMELAND.

[Imperfectionist]

I hated PE with a passion. In fact for the last two years of high school I just refused to do it. I'd turn up in my kit and then just sit down with the other girls that refused and chatted about sex. That was my PE.

I still managed to get a B though

I use to like PE because it seemed al the girls ever in my classes were playing up the whole girly thing since we usually had guys in our classes as well. So when we'd play dodge ball the guys never expected one of the girls to wack them with a ball and SMACK i'd hit them. Dodgeball is hella fun.

I agree, people in general need to be more active. They don't have to like it, but they damn well better do it.

I excelled at being sick or forgetting my gym bag on PE days. ;D
