MINUTES,
A MINIMUM OF 3 DAYS A WEEK. THOSE 20 MINUTES CAN BE CUMULATIVE IF YOU DON'T
HAVE A 20 MINUTE BLOCK OF TIME.
TO SEE IF YOU'RE IN YOU'RE THZ ... CHECK YOUR PULSE ... EITHER AT YOUR WRIST
OR OVER YOUR HEART ... PERIODICALLY WHILE YOU'RE EXERCISING. FOR MOST
MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS YOUR HEART RATE SHOULD BE BETWEEN 11 AND 17 BEATS FOR
6 SECONDS TO BE SURE YOU ARE WORKING OUT IN YOUR THZ. YOU CAN ALSO USE
THE "TALK TEST" ... IF YOU CAN'T TALK ... YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD ... IF YOU
CAN TALK TOO EASILY ... YOU'RE NOT WORKING HARD ENOUGH ... IF YOU CAN TALK
BUT NEED TO TAKE SOME BREAKS ... THAT'S FINE. THERE IS ALSO THE PERCEIVED
RATE OF EXERTION SCALE. ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10 ... YOU NEED TO BE WORKING
BETWEEN 5 AND 8 TO MAKE YOUR HEART STRONGER.
DON'T FORGET FLEXIBILITY AND MUSCULAR STRENGTH/ENDURANCE - EACH OF THOSE
