When you exercise, your heart rate increases to match your body's energy needs. It is good to know your heart rate target when exercising, so you can get a good workout. With my experiment we will find activities that will give you a good workout. You can check your pulse on your neck, wrist, and also by putting for hand on for heart.
A heart rate or pulse is the number of heartbeats per minute. You can use your wrist to test it. What you can do is count how many beats you feel in 15 seconds and then multiply that number by 4. Also, before you do the activity you need to take a resting pulse to see how much your pulse goes up.
This project is important and can help people because, it would help people who want to get in better shape, so they can choose which activities to do. It gives people good ideas about which kind of activities work the best. People can also use this for getting stronger. It also could inspire people to start exercising.
