This article talks about checking your heart rate when you exercise. What do you think about that?

Yes, that’s a really good idea. Actually, in all gym classes at schools now, kids are required to wear a heart rate monitor around their chest and a watch to monitor how effective their workout is. It’s really helpful actually. I’m a highschooler and I bought one to use at home and at the gym when I work out…love it! It tells you your target heart rate and the time you’ve spent in it and it’ll beep when you’ve gone over (putting too much strain on your body and heart) or when you’re under (not working yourself hard enough) they’re definitely worth the money.
