  8. I think people should read this book because it tells you how your body works try this... Put two fingers on your neck, just under your jaw. Press gently to find your pulse. Count how many times you feel your pulse beat in one minute. Now run for one minute. Count your pulse again. What do you notice?
    Why do you think it has changed?
