During the month of Feb we do Jump Rope for Heart. One of the lesson plans we do is checking the heart rates during a set of activities. The students do each activity for a minute or so and then check their heart rates. This allows them to see that when they do activities that use big muscles and that also make breathing heavier will increase their heart rate. We discuss the fact that the heart is a muscle and just like other muscles we need to work it out.
