Blog on Why is it hard for a fit person to get an exercise benefit?

It's hard for us to benefit from the exercise because we have to pass our limits. By this, I mean we have to increase the amount of heart beats we have. Whatever our heart rate is, we have to bypass that number. A fit person is used to a lot of exercise so they are already fit. As I learned from Abigail, it was hard for her to gain anything from her jumping jacks, running, and other forms of exercise, because she was already so fit. For someone who seems to be used to an abundant amount of exercise, it is difficult from them to gain from exercising.

Blog 18 Would You be Able To Be A Forensic Anthropologist and What You Learned From

The first time I read "Dead Men Do Tell Tales" I was pretty reluctant. As a person who does not like being exposed to the gruesome realities of life, I did not want to read a book about dead people. Nevertheless, I was surprised to find myself being captivated by the stories that Maples wrote about. As I flipped more pages and absorbed more stories, I began to actually find the book a pretty good read. Nevertheless, I will never consider being an Anthropologist. Even if reading about death is interesting, actually solving the crimes and having to be involved with dead people everyday of my life would be really depressing. And so, I do not consider an Forensic Anthropologist to be one of my career choices.

This book has impacted me more than I thought it would be. I realize how cruel the world can be and it makes me realize I have to be more careful out there in the real world. To continue, I am revealed to an perspective of an anthropologist and I am exposed to how they think.
