HRV for Training & Recovery

Most athletes know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance, but many still over train and feel guilty when they take a day off. The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest athletes. In competitive sports, improved performance is achieved by alternating periods of intensive training with periods of relative rest. Rest is physically necessary so that the muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen. For recreational athletes, building in rest days can help maintain a better balance between home, work and fitness goals.

How does it work?

Once you have your equipment, you will run a 3-minute "HRV for Training" session each day before you get out of bed (preferably around the same time each morning). Note: 4 Days of reading is required to get your first result.
You will then be presented with a result that recommends you “train as usual”, have a “low exertion day” or “rest day” based on the individual’s baseline trend.

Ben Greenfield, “I used a special app called SweetBeat HRV to track my heart rate variability (HRV), which can be a key measurement of internal nervous system damage or overtraining.”
