Subject: RE: Resting Heart Rate KenD - 2009-06-29 8:35 AM How do you measure your Resting Heart Rate? - just lay down with your HR monitor on? - wear your HR monitor to bed - sit quietly with HR monitor
I will wear my HR monitor to bed every other month or so. I do it more out of curiosity than anything else. This weekend I had a minimum HR of 33 with an average of 44 while sleeping. Hmmm...I'd never thought about doing this...but I would say it's the way I would have go to. The few times I've tried to take my RHR in the morning, just the act of grabbing the watch or turning on the light is enough to spike the HR. But if you're just letting the HRM run overnight with no effort you would think you would get good numbers. I understand that as long as you are consistent in how you measure you will get good data. However, to USE RHR I also am aware that you really need to track it daily. I'm not sure I would want to wear the HRM every night... By the by, what is this Tri Talk in COJ????? |
