How do/would you earn your PE credit?

<p>Or, how do you stay in shape? </p>

<p>My top choices are yoga for credit and running for exercise/fitness. I am contemplating looking into a dance class....but we shall see.</p>

<p>I heard from my interviewer that when she attended her university, horse-back riding was offered as a PE credit. How amazing is that?? (or maybe I'm the only one that still loves horses past the age of 10.....xD)
Other than that, I haven't really heard of any wacky or awesome PE classes offered by colleges, but if you know of one/are taking one, please enlighten us!</p>

<p>Caltech offers a DDR class. Yes, it really does count for PE credit.</p>

<p>I took a social dance class (ballroom and Latin) for PE last term. Taking the more advanced class this term. :)</p>

<p>HAHA that’s awesome. Best game ever. </p>

<p>@mflevity: that sounds really fun! I’ve always wanted to get back into dancing, but never had the time/confidence to. Will definitely look into that then, when I get on campus this fall.</p>

<p>I took stretching (pretty much yoga) and tennis.
Stretching was great, tennis was kind of lame.</p>

<p>I took horseback riding while in London my sophomore year. It was really cool, we rode in Hyde Park.</p>

<p>And back at my school’s main campus, in California, they offer surfing classes. I never managed to fit it in my schedule, but a lot of my friends did, and loved it.</p>

<p>I just go to the gym. My school has like 3 fitness type classes total…and I already take near the maximum number of credits, so…yeah. But let me tell you…it’s nice going to a school that has no PE requirement!</p>

<p>We don’t have a PE requirement either, but there’s some fun stuff offered through our Recreation Department. There’s one where you shoot bow and arrow, believe you shoot some rifle, reel casting, etc. I almost took a rock climbing class my sophomore year–that would have been fun.</p>

<p>I dunno, having the PE requirement was always kind of nice…</p>

<p>Ballroom dancing is popular here. The wierdest thing I’ve found for classes is squash. Never heard of it before.</p>

11

<p>surfing ! always wanted to learn… or basketball</p>

12

<p>Scuba Diving</p>

13

<p>I would hate having a PE requirement!</p>

14

<p>We don’t have a PE requirement. Archery would be tons of fun! So would DDR. I wish we had those classes. I took bowling one semester. Circus would be interesting but is too time consuming for me as we have an actual student Circus (so not just skills for fun like bowling.)</p>

<p>PE can be annoying, but I’m actually glad the school I’m going to has a requirement for it because I want to stay in shape and I’m not sure if I can depend on my own discipline to work out/eat healthy all the time. xD</p>
