High physical education. I feel like my students don’t do as good a job as they could in evaluating and improving in their physical fitness levels.

Army Physical Fitness at 6:30am, There’s Got to be a Better Way Since the day I joined the military and began basic combat training, I have always questioned why we do physical training (PT) that early in the morning.
