gain an understanding of what it is like to exercise at their own THR and
the importance of doing so.
Teacher Set:
The students will determine their pulse and record their data. Then, the students will
determine their MHR. After determining their MHR, each student will determine their THR zone
by using their MHR and record their data. The students will then be put through a mild stretching
exercise. Finally, the students will then participate in a jog along the trail to the end of the trail or to
a designated stopping point along the trail. The teacher will follow along behind the students by
walking, unless the teacher would like to jog as well, to make sure everyone participates. The
teacher should also encourage those who have fallen behind in the jog to keep continuing. Upon
finishing the jog, the students will now check their pulse and determine if their heart rate is in their
