In general, what I have learned through my life experiences exercise may not be a priority for the majority of people. Children and teenagers should be getting daily exercise; there are no excuses for them to lead a sedentary life. Young adults in their twenties are usually focused on themselves and their appearance drives them; therefore, the majority achieves their exercise goals. Exercise will probably not be a priority for new parents trying to adjust to the changes they are experiencing now and will continue to experience for the next eighteen years.

Consequently, my heart muscle was weak. I went through extensive testing on my heart and lungs, through all of this I learned how to breathe while walking, that may sound weird, but I held my breath. Since 2005 I have been on a journey to improve my heart health. I am very proud of my accomplishments I participated in a 10k in Bozeman Montana before we moved to Tennessee. I started out at ten minutes on the elliptical, through perseverance, sweat and tears now I interval train for 30 minutes at a time at an incline of 5 and resistance of 4; furthermore, I have learned how to run on the tread mill and can do that in intervals spaced out over a thirty minute period. My long term goal is to be able to run on the elliptical for 30 minutes at a time.
I chose the 12 minute run test as part of Lab 7b. My rate was low zone, but that is just fine, I am healthier now and my cardiovascular health has greatly improved, my resting heart rate in 2005 was 96 and now is 67. The non-exercise prediction test score is 7.68.
The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is confusing to me. I do not understand the calculations nor am I willing to put the time into figuring out my number of METS throughout the course of the day. I keep track of my target heart rate during
