    Ugh, I get that. I’m only just now building a workout routine, almost a decade after school. And I’m only just now learning what a rep even is, and why you should stretch before and after workouts. What a waste of time and energy PE was.

      Weight lifting is not something that most health experts recommend for children. We had a weight room in my middle school but you really need close supervision for good form and to reduce injuries. That level of individual coaching is hard to get at public schools.

      That’s why they focus on cardio and team sports.
