Physical Fitness While on vacation last year, I had an opportunity to ride a Segway. After only a few minutes of wobbling, I felt like I had mastered this upright transportation technology, and I was able to travel long distances with very little physical effort. We certainly live in the technology age, and the advances we see in technology have simplified many physically demanding tasks. In fact, it can make you wonder if all of this technology has eased our physical burdens so much that one day we might be so physically unfit that we can no longer perform tasks without the help of technology. Our ability to carry out daily tasks and routine physical activities without undue fatigue is called physical fitness. While too much reliance on technology could make us less fit, we see that we can improve physical fitness through the performance of different exercises.
1. Think of and list 2 exercises you participate in that could help you stay more physically fit and explain how you implement that in your daily life. ***Please answer this in 2-3 complete sentences***
Watch and follow along with the workout video from YouTube.
Before you begin, try checking your heart rate. Find your pulse with your index finger and 3rd finger (don't use your thumb). There are two good places to look: (pictures^) 1. Inside of your wrist 2. On your neck
Once you find your pulse, set a timer on your phone or watch for 30 seconds. Count the number of beats for 30 seconds. Multiply that number by 2 to see how many times your heart beats in one minute. This is your *resting heart rate.
In the workout video, notice how your heart beat changes from one exercise to the next. Check your pulse again the same way immediately after you finish the exercise video. Your heart is probably beating faster. This is your *active heart rate.
