Gym at It’s Best

            Zoom! The ball lands with a bounce on the gym floor as people race back and forth to protect their team’s pins from incoming balls that take flight. Most people absolutely love physical education.

                Gym is a lot of hard work and exercise. In the beginning we jog to warm up for the day and to exercise our muscles. It also stretches our limbs and body so we don’t hurt ourselves. Gymnastics is great for exercising because it stretches your body and is irresistible exercise. Games help with a range of abilities like hand-eye coordination, strength, speed, etc. That brings us to our next topic.

                P.E. has great games that help build natural abilities and help our physical weaknesses. Pinball is in truth is extremely enjoyable because it help with throwing and accuracy. While being entertaining at the same time. Battle ship is the same but instead of one team verse another it’s many small teams of four on one team. It helps with the same stuff as pinball. Soccer is a sport when you use your feet to try and kick it in the other team’s goal. It helps with stamina, endurance, and with foot strength. Football is when the quarter back throws the ball to people on his team to try to get a touch down. At the same time people on the defense try to get an interception. Football helps with hand-eye coordination, strength, stamina, and endurance.

                The teachers in P.E. are great. They’re great because they help you learn skills and great examples of that are our gym teachers Mr.Carmondy and Ms.Dayton. They are really nice and helpful with everything we do. They can also be strict because they don’t want to hold the class back and don’t want any interruptions             

                Gym is a grand way to get a workout just like having a personal trainer.  Have a great game of pinball or any other game an. The teachers also are some of the best. Did you know 87% of all students like gym! So go get your sneakers on and rush down to P.E., there’s nothing stopping you!
