As a high school Fitness for Life teacher, I use heart rate monitors to help students understand the importance of heart rate to improve their personal fitness. In this session I will demonstrate how we use IHT heart rate monitors at our school.

You will be able to see how they are used from both the student view and the teacher view. This is not an advertisement for IHT, that is just the heart rate monitors we use.

GROOVE is a dance, wellness, and fitness modality that feels a bit like a structured dance party. It celebrates the joy of moving, encourages unique movement choices, honors individual needs, and brings groups together through playful dance interactions.
