I don't know about you, but I HATED P.E. almost universally. In addition, when I think about it now, I get really angry at the way physical education was presented and taught. Mostly group calisthenics, running, and team sports.

YUK!

Yeah, so, I was never athletic. I could never pass even the most rudimentary "president's physical fitness" tests. I was always picked last, and hated every.fucking.second of any team sport. I could not run. I have never been able to run any length.

Now here's the thing: I love to exercise. But I never knew it until I was around 40 or so. If only they had let me do my thing: Do calisthenics at my own pace, instead of other people's. Walk, instead of run. Work out by myself, under supervision. I like to swim, and dance, and those were offered, but only at limited times. And no goddamn field hockey.

grrrrrr.
