Here is an Idea! 1. Check your heart rate before exercising. (Put two fingers on your pulse and count the number of beats in a minute). 2. Write it down. 3. Check your heart rate again after exercising. 4. Notice if there is a difference.

Everyone has to exercise because it calms you down and keeps diseases away, including high blood pressure and diabetes. Exercise also can help keep your body at a healthy weight. Exercise can help a person age well.&#160;

Some excellent advice from Mariam Kheladze.

&#160;If you live near a park go there sometimes. It’s ok just as long as you stay away from people. If the park is crowded don’t go. If you go to the park you don’t need to wear a mask! I went to the park and played football with my brother and Dad. So all you got to do is to stay safe and social distance. Bring hand sanitiser to the park just in case!

How to exercise at home:
