Question

Crystal is trying to get in shape for softball season so she takes a hip-hop dance class at the gym for 4 five minutes three days a week. She wears a heart rate monitor and find that her heart rate reaches 125 minute beats per minute, but her target heart rate zone is 142 through 180 bpm. Which of the following could she do to get her heart rate into the target zone?

Answer 1

Doing a hip-hop dance class at the gym for five minutes three days a week is a good way to increase one`s heart rate; however, if Crystal wants to land in a heart rate zone between 142 to 180 beats per minute, then, she has to dance at a faster pace.  Doing something at a faster pace would result in the heart pumping much faster in order to compensate for the needs of the body for that specific moment.

Answer 2

To achieve her targeted blood pressure she needs to dance at somehow more pace.
