So I got a job at the Wellness Center. Hopefully it goes well, I'm kinda nervous.

Here are some different HR monitor activities I've tried...

Up 6 flights of stairs: Start- 120 End- 175

Guitar Hero - Between 100-110... doesn't vary as much as one would think, even on the hard parts in expert.

Halo - 110ish... I definitely get more worked up killing people than playing music. More at stake or something.

Eating lunch at the lovely dining center - Between 90-100

Lifting upper body - Between 120 and 150... never higher than 160

Lifting lower body - Between 100 and 120... never higher than 140

Amongst my group of friends, there's been a debate about whether or not the size of your arteries and heart matters in heart rate... For me, it's logical that if your arteries are smaller than others, the heart has to beat faster in order to get blood where it needs to go. It's like a garden hose and a fire hose. If the garden hose is going to release as much water as the fire hose, then wouldn't it have to "beat" faster? Haha... I just made up this logic now, and it may not make any sense. Maybe I should find out if girl's HRs are on average faster than a guy's. Usually girls are smaller... which means they might have smaller arteries... in which case it would make sense that there's a correlation between size of arteries and HR. Who knows. I gotta go.
