What does PEF mean in FITNESS

Physical Education Fitness (PEF) is a form of physical activity for all ages and levels. It combines traditional physical education activities with knowledge and practice in health, nutrition, stress management and safety. It also encourages students to lead an active lifestyle outside of the class, to develop lifelong healthy habits.

PEF helps people develop stronger muscles and bones, improve their cardiovascular endurance, enhance flexibility, learn proper technique for activities like running or jumping rope and have fun while exercising. Additionally, regular physical activity can lead to improved self-esteem, better performance in school/work as well as better sleep.

In physical education fitness sessions you can expect a variety of exercises including but not limited to stretching, yoga, aerobics, strength training using weights or exercise machines, sports drills and recreational games.

Most exercises during PEF classes do not require any special equipment. Depending on the type of session some items such as elastic bands might be used by the instructor but these are always provided in the class.

Yes! Physical Education Fitness classes are suitable for all levels from beginners to advanced participants. Even if you have never exercised before your instructor will tailor the program according to your individual needs with modifications available for everyone regardless of their level or experience.

It is suggested that comfortable clothing like t-shirts and shorts or tracksuits should be worn during physical education fitness activities but this is not compulsory as long as you are comfortable with what you are wearing during class. Footwear should be non-marking sneakers/trainers appropriate for exercising indoors/outdoors depending on the location of the session.
