Exploring the benefits of exercise...

As we continue to look at ways to 'sharpen the saw', we have been learning about the benefits of exercise and how hard we need to be exercising. On Monday we learnt how to find and calculate our heart rate and what our target heart rate should be for exercise, (220 - age) X 60 to 80%. We then headed outside to explore how different exercises affected our heart rate. We discovered that after 1 minute of doing burpees, most of use hit the upper level of our target heart rate!

One minute is a long time when you are doing burpees!
