Let’s face it… As homeschool mamas we have a lot on our plates when it comes to planning out our homeschool year. I spend endless months researching and purchasing curriculum for the upcoming school year. Most of my time is spent focusing on the core classes, but this past year my oldest son started his high school career and things had to change. Although I should have known this from my own high school years, I realized that electives play a big part of a high schoolers schedule. In fact, in my state it is a requirement to have P.E. (a class that I am embarrassed to admit I have neglected for far too long) credits to graduate. My first thought was “Wait, what? How the heck do I teach homeschool P.E.?”… Then I realized that I was overthinking things as usual, and this was an easy course to tackle! Just like homeschooling is a lifestyle, P.E. is just part of living a healthy lifestyle. Check out my 5 Homeschool P.E. Ideas to Keep Your Family Active to see how easy it is to meet that P.E. credit requirement.

Do you need even more ideas to get your heart racing? Try mixing in small exercises throughout the homeschool day, such as:
- jumping rope for 5 minutes
- 10 squats every time you go to the bathroom
- play spelling hopscotch
- 100 steps ups on the bottom step before going on lunch break
- carry items one by one up the stairs rather than in one trip
- 10 sit ups before starting a new lesson
- complete lessons standing up
- 10 push ups before or after snack break
- replace your chair with an exercise ball
- do jumping jacks as you spell words- 1 jumping jack per letter
