Physical Fitness Fundamentals Physical Fitness Fundamentals Physical education is motion with a purpose. Motion begins before birth and continues throughout a person's lifetime.
Motion is a learned skill.
It is a skill essential for all areas of development. As a home schooling mom for more than 10 years, I quickly noticed that P.E. is often overlooked in the rush to get everything done. After a day of home schooling, caring for several children, and running a household, moms are usually tired. Physical development is working toward a lifetime of fitness. This would include muscle strength, flexibility, endurance, and cardiovascular health.
