Cardiovascular Workout Log

Cardiovascular Workout Log You will need to document six hours (or 360 minutes) to include a variety of physical activity. A variety of physical activity can be defined as a minimum of three different activities. Students are expected to log activities multiple times per week for each week enrolled in the HOPE course. You cannot complete and receive credit for this HOPE course if you do not complete each of the topic workout logs.
You may either copy and paste this document into a word processing program or print the page. (You will need to add the necessary rows to the table below until you have a total of 360 minutes of physical activity.)
