Why do we have to have gym?

Why do we haft to have gym.. I hate physical activity I'm not good at it at all and it makes me feel so bad. I can't run fast or even touch my toes.. because I'm not good at it I dont want to do it.

But.. I am heathy I just dont like being told what to do and when to do it I get my random hyperness at different times of the day!

so you can be heathy

you have to have gym because it is usually a state thing or its a credit in high school,l are you currently in HS or MS?

wow 80 minutes in HS i have t so im kinda jealous its only about 30 for me, but if you really want the easy way out just exaggerate everything, if your doing pushups wait until the teacher looks at you then look really tired, but like oyur still trying to do one more, the teachers most times dont know your limits so if you make it SEEM as if your at your breakin point theyll thnk your trying your hardest.

I have never understood why physical education is a required subject in school. I think it should be a choice.

I never liked gym class much. When we were choosing teams I was picked last for almost everything. Not great for your self-esteem!

It is important to find some physical activity you like and will continue. The problem is that few of the things we did in gym did much for me. I didn't like team sports. The goal of phys ed is to help you develop an active lifestyle that will keep you active and healthy thought your life. For some people it works better than others.

Try asking your teacher f you can play games instead of doing workouts. I recommend matball. It's like kickball, only you can run either way, and you have to run the second your foot touches the ground. And, of course, it's played with mats. But you can ask anything you want.

If your gym teacher doesn't let you, tell him or her how it hurts you, and they might give you tips on keeping yourself active.

Good Luck!
