So today is Tuesday and, hurray, it’s PE time! I drag myself into line with an admittedly rotten attitude and trudge behind my class to the multi-purpose room. At least I don’t have to run the mile today, right? The regular PE teacher isn’t in the front of theroom like usual. There is a peppy looking girl in yoga pants and neon sneakers, upbeat music playing on a Bluetooth speaker behind her. “Hey, 4th grade! I’m the PE sub today, Ms. Lacey! We’re going to try a new kind of workout today, so grabsome space and let’s go!”
OK, I hate exercising, but I love good music! I find a spot and bounce a little on the balls of my feet. Ms. Lacey shouts, “Today we are going to do a bootcamp circuit workout! Follow me!” She shouts instructions just before starting each exercise. We don’t do any one exercise for more than 10 reps, and the time is flying by. The music makes it seem... not like work, I guess. Uh, oh. I’m having fun!
