Morning Announcements: Tuesday, May 11, 2021 - YOUR Heart!
We continued with honoring #MoveInMay and talked about National Physical Fitness and Sports Month and YOUR HEART! Did you know……
• The heart is the size of your fist.
• The heart is like a big pump made of muscles, and it constantly pumps blood throughout our bodies every minute of every day.
• Everyone thinks that the heart is on the left side, of your chest – but it is actually in the middle of your chest between your two lungs.
• The heart weighs between 7 and 15 ounces which is about the same as a bottle of Heinz Ketchup!
• The average adult heart beats about 72 times a minute, 100,000 times a day and around 35 MILLION times a year!
• To keep your heart healthy, you really need to get out there and get some exercise in. 30 minutes a day will keep it healthy!
Daily Challenge: Let me see your best hearts! OR Tell me how you can get your heart pumping!
