Surviving Gym

Gym class is not for everyone. Some people thrive in it while others dread it, but at some point during your high school career you will probably have to take a gym class at some point. My school just changed its curriculum this year, so I am in a gym class right now. If you are like me and have to take gym, I would first check if an online or classroom gym is available. With the classroom gym, you don’t have to get all sweaty and gross in the middle of the day. Then with online gym it doesn’t take up a whole class period and you get to exercise whenever and however you want to.

However, for most of us we don’t get that luxury. For an hour of our day we are forced to exert physical exercise. If you can choose when you have the class I would suggest trying to get the one either right before lunch or the last class of the day. That way if you get too sweaty and gross you will have extra time to freshen up before you see other people. I decided to take my gym class as a zero hour. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it is an optional extra hour that you can take before school starts. This also gives me extra time to get ready in the locker rooms before school.

If you can choose the type of gym to take, I would suggest the ones that will get you the least sweaty. The last thing you want is to be super smelly and gross for your next class. Some classes will even let you out extra early so that you have enough time to get ready.

When packing for gym class in the morning or the night before there are four essentials you need to make sure you bring. The first is gym clothes to change into so that you don’t have to wear your gross clothes all day. Then deodorant and perfume to make sure you don’t stink. You will also need a hair brush and some make up. Just the necessities to get refreshed after gym class.
