342 – Healthy Tech

59 minutes

It’s time to get fit, and on WELSTech this week we explore important fitness measures and tech trackers to support your fitness goals. Martin has an important lesson share that drove him to use paper and pencil, of all things, and Sallie is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Rubik’s cube.

The interview and discussion:

Make a change – What better time than right now to adopt a fitness-for-life mentality. Martin Luther College Professor of Physical Education Dan Gawrisch talks with Martin and Sallie about five fitness measures, the 10,000 steps per day activity goal and calculating your target heart rate. And there are shiny tech gadgets to motivate and track your fitness journey to share as well.
