What is your experience with gym class?

[Mega_Cabbage]

Why do you like/dislike it? What was your favorite/least favorite activity?

I personally loved gym class. You get to talk with your friends for the first twenty minutes while everybody puts on their gym clothes. You don't have to sit around unlike other classes. My favorite sports were basketball, floor hockey, and football. Dodgeball was great too, but they banned it. Sometimes we got to play capture the flag outside and I used the portables as a secret tunnel to tag out the prisoners.

...You get twenty minutes? We only get five...
I personally hate gym class because the teacher is EVIL. Some of the sports are fun, but... mostly it's just the teacher bossing us around and being rude.
My gym class is very small though, it has 13 people in it, so that's one thing I like about it.

Well we are only suppose to get seven minutes, but some people take forever to get ready, so the teachers extend the time.

Gym was terrible. I got out of it my Junior & Senior year thank god

 

[Prabha]

Wasn't a big fan of it due to some bad experiences.

PE was awesome. My teachers are extremely understanding, and if you tell them you're not feeling well, they'll let you sit out nine times out of ten. Plus, they grade you more on effort than performance, so it's easy to actually have fun c:

when i was in 8th grade we did this thing when we had to see how many miles we could run in 45 minutes it was coolio
we also played this game called powerball which was pretty much dodgeball with trashcans as shields and i loved it

 

[Luxanna]

We have to take gym everyyear for your entire school life
all I can remember are tears, tears and dreams being destroyed.
Freshmen year I had to get a surgery so I didnt have gym until litterally the last day of the semester so like it was the mile run and I havent had any form of physical activity since may and now its in decemeber so I was dead within 5 minutes of trying to do it.
but besides that single gym day I didnt have to do gym until march since next semester was drivers ed, woot ;-;

Confidence when I'm not in gym: BOW DOWN *****ES, I'M LIKE THE REINCARNATION OF JESUS CHRIST

Confidence in gym: Please... don't look at me

I don't like being watched while I exercise unless I'm dancing or riding a bike, which are the only things I do to exercise of my own free will. I hate the clothes, since they're baggy and that's really unflattering to me. I mean, I already look awkward trying to run and play sports, but is it really necessary to make me look ugly, too?

It's okay. I think gym makes everyone look a bit more odd because it's gym. The weirdest facial expressions, body positions, and noises come with physical exercise.

 

[P.K.]

Well idk how gym really is in countries like America I just get hear it's terrible (???)
But in my country it's just called physical education (P.E.) and in my school we have 2 hours of it every week which everyone likes because everyone gets to wear their p.e. uniform and not the regular.
This year though, my p.e. teacher is super chill like most of the time we'd have discussion and sometimes actually go out to play sports like futsal. But most of the time she just gives us the rest of the time to do our own stuff especially if it's intramurals because the entire high school gets super competitive.
And our lessons are brief but a lot like this year we had Track & Field > Ballroom dancing > Futsal > Table Tennis > Swimming.

Gym is my hell

 

[LaBelleFleur]

I was always that kid that tried to shrink into the corner during dodgeball to avoid getting hit.

During team sports where the class would divide into four teams and two teams would play at a time, I'd read while my team wasn't playing. Sometimes, when my team would get called up, I'd be so engrossed in my book I wouldn't notice. I sucked at gym, so my team would just let me read and play a person short.

My gym experience in a nutshell. ^^ I was very glad gym was only mandatory up to grade 10.

 

[thatawkwardkid]

I hated Gym/P.E. and everyone hated me in the class. I was pretty much known as the kid who stood there like an idiot doing nothing and also refused to change out. My favorite activity was Capture the Flag, I guess.

 

[LaBelleFleur]

My favorite activity was Capture the Flag, I guess.

This was literally the only game I liked. Playing at night in a wooded area is actually super fun.

 

[f11]

I hate PE and running in general

 

[Mango]

i hated it

Well we are only suppose to get seven minutes, but some people take forever to get ready, so the teachers extend the time.

We only got 5 minutes to change, and anyone who took longer had to run laps when they got out of the change room.

I didn't mind it overall, but if given the choice I wouldn't have voluntarily taken it. Thankfully it was only mandatory in Grade 9 and I didn't have to take it again. My gym class had those people in it just took gym class way too seriously. Like, bodychecking people to get the ball during a game. It made it really not fun. I don't like playing organized sports, I much more enjoy swimming and biking. We didn't have access to a swimming pool, though, so there was none of that. I was really good at dodgeball, though. I have fantastic reflexes I learned through taking jiujitsu for years, and so I was usually one of the last people standing. I just can't aim a dodgeball throw for crap lol.

I got an A in gym even though I suck so bad at organized sports, all you have to do is participate at a minimum level and that's it, congrats, high mark.

I liked gym class in high school because my gym teacher was cool and let the girls just do laps when they were on their periods, and he would let the guys have 5 days where they could also do laps when they chose to.

My gym teacher also let us kind of do our own thing most days, we were either allowed to play the sports that were in the class or we could go and work out upstairs in the weight room.
