For homework this fortnight I had to find six exercises to increase my heart rate between 110 - 170 beats per minute .

These were my results:

Exercise One:

Exercise: Push Ups (5 then a break then another 5)
How Long: 1:00m
Heart Rate Before: 96 BPM
Heart Rate After: 140 BPM

This told me that this exercise increases your heart rate by about 40 BPM.

Exercise Two:

Exercise: Jumping Jacks
How Long: 1:00m
Heart Rate Before: 100 BMP
Heart Rate After: 132 BPM

This told me that this exercise increases your heart rate by about 30 BPM

Exercise Three:

Exercise: Jogging on the spot
How Long: 1:00m
Heart Rate Before: 96 BMP
Heart Rate After: 120  BPM

This told me that this exercise increases your heart rate by about 20 BPM

Exercise Four:
