Unusual color on HR graph during exercise...

[thequilteddove]

I went for a typical ride w/my lady friends.  This is the first time I've ever seen a color that was other than yellow, orange or red.  I did stop a few minutes when I got to my friends how, but that's not unusual... the color in the dip is... Anyone experience that or know what the color means?

Looks like you were stopped and your heart rate dropped below the fat burn zone.

I figured it might be something like that... it's just the first time I saw it happen.  I stop the same way every time I ride w/this lady.  I wonder if it means my recovery rate is improving... or I stopped longer than normal lol

Hopefully it is your recovery rate. 🙂

I see similar results when I have to stop at a traffic light, or stop to drink water.  The better your cardio system, the quicker it gets back to resting rate.
