Heart Rate Monitors

The other day in Tech class we had the opportunity to work with the heart rate monitors. This was my first time working with them and I don't know if I was using it right because I would get some crazy numbers. It seemed to work about half the time and the other half was reading really high numbers in the 200's. I think that heart rate monitors are a great way to assess students effort in class, and even though I didn't have such a great experience with them I have still heard a lot of positive things about them.

i agree with you about heart rate monitors chad. i was getting some crazy numbers too. i don't think all of them were completely accurate, because i know my heart was not beating that fast while i was walking! heart rate monitors are defintely a smart way to get students moving. It may be harder for some than others to reach their target heart rate, but it is a goal to strive for.
