My experiment

HYPOTHESIS:

I wanted to know if I could improve the health of my heart by doing more exercise.

EXPERIMENTAL METHOD :

I set up a weekly plan of exercise and testing, and started in the first week of school after Christmas break. I am still following it.

I measured the health of my heart by recording my heart rate (using a heart rate monitor) before and during a test exercise. The test was to walk briskly up and down a flight of stairs with 14 steps and to repeat this 10 times consecutively.
