The class of 2000 lost one of their classmates, Nathan Bohn, in 1997 as a result of an alcohol related vehicle accident. In memory of Nathan, the class would like to donate the proceeds from the TCBY sales to our local S.A.D.D. Chapter. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. The 9th grade PE classes have been participating in a variety of exercises that safely promotes aerobic fitness. Using the Karvonen Formula, the students calculate a training heart rate and then match a dose of exercise with that intensity.
Aerobic fitness improves when students exercise in the aerobic training zone.
The 9th grade students have been wearing Polar Heart Rate monitors to help them realize how hard they have to work to keep their heart rate at a specific intensity. Heart rate monitors are fun to wear because they guide us as we try to achieve our fitness goals. Regular aerobic exercise within your target heart rate zone plays a significant role in preventing heart and blood vessel disease. It's not just for the Rhythmettes anymore. The purpose of this event is twofold.
