Fun Ideas for Homeschool PE

I never ever had fun in Gym class, with the exception of one year. That year the girls’ gym flooded at the high school warping the brand new floors. While it was being repaired, we got to have PE class with the boys. I loved it. I did not have to worry about the bigger girls trying to hit me in the head with the volleyball or beat me into oblivion with the dodge ball. They were far too busy flirting with the boys to do that. Besides, I had the option to use the gym equipment instead. I spent my time challenging the boys to weight lifting contests. I usually won with the leg press.  That year I was able to choose my gym activities without worrying about being damaged by bullies was the only positive experience I had regarding PE. Sometimes I wonder if my aversion to PE fueled my aversion to exercise.
