Essential Guide to Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – How to Measure & Improve Yours

PDF guide: https://www.yogabody.com/metabolism-a...

What do you think is healthier when it comes to your heart rate? A steady beat like a drum or a variable heart rate that speeds up a little when you inhale and slows down a little when you exhale?

A healthy heart actually has a high heart rate variability (HRV), meaning that on a beat-to-beat measured level, there's quite a bit of difference. HRV has long been used as a metric in sport medicine, cardiology, and an anesthesiology, but thanks to the boom in wearable health tech, tens of millions of people are now waking up every morning to HRV readings on their phones and smartwatches and wondering what they mean.

If you're confused, you're not alone. In this video I’ll explain what HRV is, how to measure it, and then Rob ter Horst, aka The Quantified Scientist will talk through some tech options you can try to measure your HRV. And lastly, I'll leave you with a guided pre-bed breathing practice that can help improve your HRV levels, both while you're sleeping and when you wake up. Let’s get started!
