Resting Heart RateUpdated 6 days ago

Overview

• Resting heart rate (RHR) is the number of heart beats per minute while you are calm and inactive.

• Resting heart rate is tracked using light sensors that measure your heart rate and motion sensors that detect movement. The device identifies periods when you are still and relaxed and uses the heart rate readings taken during these periods to calculate your resting heart rate.

• To keep your RHR slow and stable, focus on regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and limiting alcohol intake.

Detailed Explanation

• Your resting heart rate (RHR) is the average number of heart beats per minute when you're relaxed and inactive for several minutes. A lower RHR usually indicates better heart health and fitness.

• You may be able to lower your resting heart rate over time by staying active, managing your weight, and reducing everyday stress. Resting heart rate does not include your heart rate while you are asleep and is validated for users over the age of 18.
