MusculoSkeletal_Letter_1_ICS18ART

Dear Mr. Blake Fit,

 Our group, ICS18GAR, ICS18MART, and I, ICS18ART, have looked at all the variables given to us and have concluded the best way to arrive to our solution was to follow the procedures placed below.

1. Treadmill 2. Stepmill 3. Jacob Ladder 4. Elliptical

 I decided a treadmill would build the most bone strength. Plus, it comes with 7 programs so everyone could do it. The age I feel that would be appropriate for using a treadmill would be fourth grade and up. One of the programs could be teaching kids how to use a treadmill without injuring themselves or others.

I decided the stepmill would be the second most favorable The stepmill is like a treadmill but, it has steps. A stepmill helps people's balance. It helps build lower body strength too. It can replace squats. It also burns calories. After 45 minutes, you have burned 360 calories. There are 4 programs, middle schoolers can sign up for.

Next I choose the Jacob ladder. The Jacob ladder is not very similar to people's life style so it would be a more challenging piece of exercise equipment. The one program included can teach middle schoolers to use it safely and to improve already made skills. If you do it for 15 - 20 minutes you will increase your heart rate by 70%. It also builds muscle fiber.

My last choice as least favorable is the elliptical. Usually it is only for people with bad knees. You can't burn as much calories. Its also not as challenging.

Sincerely, ICS18ART
