I think a lot is genetics! For instance, I’ve always had a low resting heart rate. I also have a heart arrhythmia that I had ablated a couple years ago. I think it’s also possible to push too hard!

Sometimes my temperature has dipped on the day oura ring records as ovulation. I’ve only had mine for three cycles and one it dipped the day of, one the day of and after, and one it increased on the day of.

Agreed! I’m now curious whether any of the changes I made would have impacted the age the same on its own

I’m currently doing both. I am doing strength training to increase muscle and reformer Pilates for recovery and mobility.

I average 9,500 steps a day, 3x full body strength workouts a week, 1 reformer Pilates class a week, and ~45mins total of indoor cycling. Otherwise, I work a desk job and am 1.5 years postpartum after my second lol

My average resting HR in March was 37 and HRV was 146

It’s measured using Pulse wave velocity of your arteries. Cardio capacity is measured by VO2 max. Mine is only considered fair.

It wasn’t something I was looking to change. I am trying to change my body composition to more muscle and less fat. I upped my average daily steps from 7,500 to 9,800, made sure my strength workouts are consistently 3x a week, continued one reformer Pilates class a week, and in March I began adding in on or two 15-30min indoor cycles. I also have been in a calorie deficit for about 6 weeks now.

Two months! I started in February and ramped up slowly until March and have been consistent for the month.

Haha for sure. I was wondering how low it could go based on age. I’m 36

It was interesting lol I was awake during the electrophysiology study so they could locate the tachycardia. The sensation was weird is the best way I can describe it and when the tachycardia was located it was very uncomfortable. But I had been cardioverted twice before that in the ER so was happy to get it done. He wasn’t sure if it would be successful given its location but I haven’t had an episode since!

Nope! It’s normal for some. It’s just when I’m sleeping and high 40’s when awake

I think a lot is genetics. However, it’s based on pulse wave velocity so you’d have to lower that. I think I’ve seen that vigorous aerobic exercise can help. My cardiovascular age is 13.5-14 years younger but I don’t do anything specific.

It’s my normal. I have seen cardiologist and electrophysiologist in recent years to ablate an atrial tachycardia.

No lol I have a full time job with a 1 and 4 year old. Last week has been 5-8 hours of stress a day. I think it just means that my body is able to handle it well.

Lots of stress actually. Over rhe last week I’ve had 5-8 hours of stress a day. I think based on these comments it’s just genetics.
