Jacobson Elementary Healthiest State Initiative/Fall Fitness Day-October 3rd

The Healthiest State Initiative is a privately led public initiative intended to inspire Iowans and their communities throughout the state to improve their health and happiness. To achieve our goal, individuals, families, businesses, faith-based organizations, not-for-profits and the public sector will unite in a community-focused effort to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation by 2016.  Organized walks are being planned throughout the state.  The total number of walkers will then be tallied by the "Healthiest State" Organization.

At Jacobson Elementary, staff and students will be participating in the school-wide walk on Wednesday, October 3 at 9:00 a.m. in front of Jacobson Elementary School.  All parents, grandparents, and community members are invited to participate in the walk.  The walkers will be using much of the walking trails in Belmond but will end up on the new sidewalk south of the school by the playground.  This addition to the sidewalk system in Belmond helps the students walk or bicycle to school safely.

If you would like to walk, please join us in front of Jacobson Elementary at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 3.

If you have any questions, please call me at extension 353 or email me at kay.trampel@bkcsd.org.

Five Parts of Fitness and Target Heart Rate for Junior High Students

Five Components of Fitness

Target Heart Rate

Five Components of Fitness

ABSEF: All Bodies Should Exercise Forever

A-aerobic endurance(cardio-vascular endurance)-heart, lungs and blood vessels working together to move oxygen efficiently. 

How we improve this is through the FIT principle: Frequency-how often-4-5 times a week, Intensity-how hard 140-189 beats per minute for 6^th-10^th graders, and Time-20 minutes non-stop is the minimum.

B-body composition-having fat and muscle in proper proportion.

S-strength(muscular strength)-muscles working over a short period of time.

E-endurance(muscular endurance)-muscles working together over a long period of time.

F-flexibility-ability of your joints to move through their full range of motion

Two important reasons why it is important to be flexible is to 1)prevent injuries and 2)perform better in sports.

Calculating Target Heart Rate

 220-your age x 80%

Target Heart Rate _____________

This is the heart rate a person should be at for at least 20 minutes, 3-5 times a week.
