Month of Activity
The start of May on Friday marks the beginning of National Fitness and Sport Month. Practice a sport you already play or try to find a new one. I found a sport called Picigin from Croatia that looks like it would be fun to play with family https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTxNGUU5RU

- Measuring Heart Rate- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5K_HR6hxMY When measuring Heart Rate use only middle and index fingers. You can count beats for 1 min or you can count for 30sec and multiply by 2. There are several locations on the body you can use to measure.
- Carotid Artery (Neck)- Place fingers about halfway down the neck, press no gently to the left or right of the windpipe.
- Radial (Wrist)- Place fingers on the inside of the wrist just below bottom of the thumb.
- Axillary (Armpit)- Feel on the inside of the upper arm. Place finger between Bicep and tricep muscles, feel just over the humerus (upper arm bone).
