                                Physical Education Final Exam Reflection
            The health fitness aspect I intend to improve is known as cardiovascular endurance. This is built up and used when doing aerobic exercises such as running.
            The activity I propose to teach is one that I was taught when I took fencing. The way it works is for the people doing it to first divide into groups of about four or five. Then two points are chosen for the race. All members of one group run, and the first to return to the starting line may sit down while the other members of the group run again. This is repeated until there are only two people remaining. This builds cardiovascular endurance by causing the participants to run as fast as they are able to for a relatively short distance.
            I intend to maintain my self by taking walks and jogging during the summer vacation. This is to ensure that I do not become unhealthy, which happens during any long period of inactivity.
