It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the plus side of the HRV. I don’t claim to understand HRV, from what I have been told, it cannot be too high.

My understanding is this, when we inhale, our bodies move toward panic. When we exhale, our bodies move towards rest and relaxation. HRV measures the difference between the individual heartbeats and the inhalation / exhalations.

I don’t claim to understand it. Imagine a fit person watching TV, they get up to get a piece of celery and walking to the fridge barely changes their heart rate. And obese person watching TV, gets up to go get another piece of cake, his heart rate may increase drastically for the effort of getting up and walking to the fridge. His heart rate variation is much higher than the fit person.

I’m told I’m looking at the “wrong scale”, but don’t understand it. HRV. Again and probably not for the last time.

I also realize I completely ignore the “balanced” & “unbalanced” words in there. I only see H heart R rate V variability.

I am going to a yoga retreat this Saturday and Sunday and I am pretty excited about it.

Have a great weekend!
