I have been taking a one credit P.E. class this quarter. Namely, toning. I know, I know, it sounds like a girls’ class, but just for the record, there is a really cool biker dude (motorcycle kind of biker dude) in the class along with three other guys (5 total), so keep your comments to yourself. 
Anyway, it’s a lot harder than I expected. My teacher is as fit a person as you’ll ever meet (unless you hang out with Olympic quality athletes) and really hard to keep up with. It is good though because it allows me to see how far I can actually go physically. If I was left on my own, I would probably have quit a long time ago. Having an instructor to push you to your limit is good when working out.
So, at the end of the quarter, our final is going to be what my teacher calls the “wall sit.” What you do is take up a sitting position with you back against the wall with nothing underneath to support you other than the muscles in your legs. Then you stay there for five minutes. It is much harder than it sounds and I challenge all of you to try it and let me know what you think. 
We have been working up to it. First we started at 1 minute to 1.5 minutes to 2 minutes to 2.5 minutes to 3 minutes, which is where we are right now.
Anyway, I’ll be taking a weight training class next quarter (certainly more manly) and I’ll let you know how that goes in a few months.
