Are your school PE lessons too easy?

Ricky's been to a school to find out more
Education inspectors in the UK have told schools to change their PE lessons because they're not tough enough.
They say that more of you need to work up a sweat and that teachers don't know enough about sport.
Inspectors also highlighted that only a few schools play sport at a high level and think it should be more competitive.
However, inspectors say that PE teaching has improved in two-thirds of primary schools and three-quarters of secondary schools compared to four years ago - but they still think more needs to be done.
Do you think PE lessons are tough enough? Do you always feel like you've done enough exercise during the class? Would you rather play sport more competitively? Or do you think you already try as hard as you can?
