Trifit personal fitness program

In my last Fitness Education class with Dr. Nichols we took a personal fitness test that included strength and flexibility, cardiovascular strength, and your BMI. We then had to take our test results and input the information into a computer program that broke down our level of physical fitness compared to the average of people within our body type and age range. This software is a great way to let people see the hard data on how fit they "actually" are. I myself found out that I was below average for fitness compared to people in my demographic. I think that the Trifit program is a great example of Technology improving Health.

Heart rate monitors

One thing that should be pretty interesting in my upcoming class schedule is the idea of working with heart rate monitors. Ive never worked with them before, and am interested in being able to use them in a functional way. They are an important tool for PE majors when it comes to the promotion of life long physical activity in the classroom. So hopefully by the end of the semester I will be a expert when it comes to the heart rate monitors.

About me

For people that dont know me, my name is Matt Casamento. I live in Pittsburgh and commute to Slippery Rock as a full time student in the PETE program. I also work around 20hrs a week, so with class, working, and my commute, I have little time for anything else. My goal is to graduate in 2 years, so hopefully putting up with this crazy schedule will pay off in the end. Ive already made it through 1 semester, and I only have 3 more semesters to go. Here's hoping to my ability to remain some what sane.

until next time.
