Good day,
I am 25 years old male, I have been using the Charge HR for a month now,
I wanted to know what is the normal heart rate to stay in between?
I noticed sometimes when I have extra work to do or I feel pressured my HR gets above 100.
Is there a way to calculate what is the average HR for me?
So that when I get out of the comfort zone I take a step back and have a break!
One more thing;
I read the explanation for the THREE lines on the right of the HR that is displayed on the device,
But unfortunately didn't get what's the use of it, could someone explain it to me please.
There is no such thing as average HR really in the sense that you are asking for.
Sure, you could take what the Fitbit or any HRM would say your average was on any given day, but that's not entirely useful, especially not for your question.
What has been found in studies on both genders, using healthy participants (so no health issues or meds causing elevated HR), was the flex-point, or crossover from normal daily activity, to the aerobic exercise level, was 90 bpm.
And that was no matter what their genetic HRmax was, or restingHR was.
So I'd suggest that if your HR is getting up to 90 in those situations - time to back off.
At that point, a quick blood pressure test might be in order too. Might get a fast wrist unit. While not exactly that accurate as others, still good faster indicator if BP is rising to bad levels.
Several good links above talking about HR zones for exercise. I disagree with Fitbit's method of getting the ones they use - too low according to most charts.
But it helps design workouts, and stay in a certain type of workout.
Usually body makes best improvements when you have hard days, and then easy recovery days.
Because the improvement doesn't come from the exercise, but the rest for recovery and repair.
So you have a couple of days of say resistance training in the high zone.
Couple days following those days in the fat-burning zone for recovery.
Couple days in the aerobic zone doing cardio for those benefits.
