Heart Rate Variability Workshop

Setting up for a Heart Rate Variability (HRV) workshop at Club Pilates in Palatine on February 8th.

HRV is the variation of time between heartbeats. Pulse measure the average over a minute, but for a pulse of 80 beats per minute, some beats may be occurring at 60 and some at 100 and you would have an average of 80. Or you maybe they only range between 78 and 82, and you would still have an average of 80. Does it matter? Yes it does. And that’s what HRV measures. A higher HRV is associated with a better autonomic nervous system balance (the balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic responses). Higher HRV generally reflects better heart health, resilience, and physiologic adaptability.
