Using the LED lights I can set the color to the corresponding HR zones. Each lesson we set a HR zone goal and try to stay in that zone for 75% of the class time. Having the visual cues along with the goal helps motivate kids to work their hardest and know exactly what their goal is during each minute of class time. I have used this in my past schools and the increased level of participation is incredible to see. Not only is this connecting learning of activity to health and fitness they also have so much fun with the lights. I also use them to teach calming breathing for cool down and yoga units. This is very instrumental in helping to teach students self regulation and social and emotional wellness.
