(...for the P.E. Challenged Mom)

Are
you a P.E.-challenged Mom? I am!
I grew up in a traditional school setting, and I just despised physical
education class, or “phys ed” as my teachers called it.
I didn’t enjoy running around in the heat, making a fool of myself as I
tried to catch balls, or changing in the locker room.
Yuck!
So as a homeschooling mom, I was in
a predicament. I understood the
good sense in teaching physical fitness to my children.
I realized the need for getting them off the couch and moving. But it was hard for me to set a good example when my memories
of exercising and sports were less than fond.
In
addition, as the mother of five young children, I lacked the time to make lesson
plans for yet another subject. Our
day was already full with math, grammar, reading, writing, history, science,
chores, music, service for others, housecleaning….
So I needed a plan.
I talked to my husband, who has been involved with athletics on a high
school level for many years. I read
books on physical education, written by and for homeschoolers.
I searched the Internet.
The
result was a set of simple lesson plans that would walk me through physical
education. These plans are intended
for elementary-age children, since these are the ages of my own children.
I planned for ways to get us all up and exercising together, since this
was a need in our home. Finally, I
tried to make it fun, since I knew that I wouldn’t want to continue if it
wasn’t – and if Mom doesn’t want to exercise, why would the kids want to?
