Indian Hills Middle School has incorporated the use of heart rate monitors into the P.E. program. Listed below are just some of the benefits dervied from using monitors:

• Immediate feedback of intensity level & student self-assessment
  
• Tracking progress as fitness goals are achieved
  
• Students work at their personal fitness levels rather than competing with others in class
  

We suggest that students purchase an elastic strap to use in P.E. with the monitors. It is more efficient for them to have their own and adjust it to fit them rather than use straps other students have used. It is also more sanitary. Students are graded on being prepared, using monitors correctly, putting them away properly, and also on their personal efforts reflected by monitor downloads.
