Discuss the question, “How can I keep my heart strong and my arteries clean and clear?”

Complete Mini Activity: Risk Profile to help students apply knowledge of good cardiovascular health.

Your Target Heart-Rate Zone Students find their target heart-rate zone. Reviewing the formula can be helpful.

1. Subtract your age from $220$.
2. Multiply this number by $60\;\mathrm{percent} \ (0.60)$. This is the low end of your zone.
3. Multiply the number from Step 1 by $85\;\mathrm{percent} \ (0.85)$. This is the high end of your zone.
4. Can you find the middle of your zone? Use $75\;\mathrm{percent}$ as an estimate of the middle.
