Your high school PE class helped you get to know the limits of your body?! What did you do in PE class? We did things like roller skating, go bowling, etc. It was all about having fun.

We mostly played soccer. But there were running days and the occasional 12 minute run (which was really exhausting). There were also one or two compulsory lessons where we had to work on the parallel bars and the same also for gymnastics on the horizontal bar. And lastly there was a school wide track and field day, which we had to practice for. We had 4 hours of PE each week.

Run laps with someone with a stopwatch timing you.

The "Pacer" test.

Either play basketball, just slowly walk circles around the gym while chatting with your friends, or secretly hide under the bleachers and hang out.

We were either doing things like running a couple miles when we'd never done that before so it felt horrible or we were screwing off and passing the time.
