Frequently Asked Questions

I have heart rate monitors and other PE technologies but how do I know what to do with them?

Heart Zones USA's partner, IHT, can show you how to implement a cardio activity program based on heart rate monitor and emotional fitness training program using the technology tools you have already invested in or the new Spirit System.

I don't have any heart rate monitors and our department doesn't have a big budget, how do I get started?

Sally Edwards has tested and used every heart rate monitor (almost) sold over the last 20 years. She will help you select heart rate monitors for your program that provide the best fit for your budget and teaching needs. You make the decision on the type of heart rate monitoring devices that you want to use and we'll help give you some guidance.

What's the difference between the IHT Spirit system and curriculum, Zoning PE3, and that of other companies?

ZONING PE3 is the only comprehensive heart rate monitoring curriculum on the market today. Period. Heart Zones partner IHT offers the complete solution with lesson plans, support materials and professional development training. This solution is a system that schools and school districts can implement into their physical education classes that optimize and track student activity. The system uses heart rate monitors and cloud based enterprise software to help students, parents, teachers and administrators track the success of their physical education classes.

I'd like to talk to some teachers who have used the curriculum - the textbooks, support materials, and taken the professional development teacher trainings

We have a list of health and physical education teachers just like you who started by contacting us and then took our recommendations and made the commitment and investment to put the heart back into their programs using the products and services of Heart Zones USA's partner: IHT. You can contact Jen Ohlson at IHT by clicking on her name - it provides you with her email address.
