Using the form found in the Heart Rate portfolio segment of this lesson, track a cardiovascular program for five days. Abide by the following guidelines:

Please vary the activities and exercises throughout the time period.
Remember to spend at least 15 minutes stretching prior to any activity.
Keep careful track of date, duration of workout, type of workout, resting heart rate, heart rate during exercise, and heart rate following exercise.
You may use anything that will help you get to and maintain as close to your target heart rate as possible.
Some possible examples would be: running, swimming, basketball, soccer, high intensity rollerblading, and bicycling. Other types of exercise should be cleared with your instructor for permission before performing.
Please have a parent or guardian sign next to each workout to confirm its completion.
