Fitness Frenzy

In the lead up to Faction Carnival in Week 6, we have been exploring what makes a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is important because it makes our lungs and heart work faster, which makes them stronger. We learnt how to check our pulse and feel our heart beating. We counted how many beats we felt in a minute and then we did some stretches and spent 2 minutes running on the spot. Some of us felt exhausted and had to have a drink and sit down! We then checked our pulse again. Our hearts were beating much faster and stronger than before. We also noticed that our cheeks felt warm and some of us were starting to sweat.
