I loved P.E. in school, even in spite of our evil, scary teacher in jr. high. The only sport I didn't like then was gymnastics. We had to spend an inordinate amount of time perfecting routines on the balance beam and uneven bars, and kids were always falling off of them. Worse, one girl went and broke her ankle when she fell off the balance beam.
In high school, I took P.E. as my electives--one year, I had it for three classes. No gymnastics thank god, but lots of tennis, basketball, aerobics, and weightlifting. Plenty of track running too, which I'm not the biggest fan of either...but at least it wasn't freaking gymnastics.
Now...I walk quite a bit, but I haven't played a sport (except for maybe golf) or gone to a health club in a really long time. I kind of hate health clubs, actually. To me, part of the fun of physical activity is a group social-interactive aspect, which is what P.E. had, and health clubs don't seem to.
