HRV & RHR Tips: So bad despite doing things right?
Hi everyone. I’ve been wearing WHOOP for about 6 months now. I lift 5-6 days a week, get 11-12k steps a day, I do breath work, sleep enough and get solid sleep consistency, I eat healthy, I take care of myself all around. I’m 22, my WHOOP age is 19, and my pace of aging is 0.3, but my HRV is always so low and my RHR is fairly high given my activity level. I see so many people posting on here with insane stats, so I was hoping for some advice.
I love to lift, so I don’t do much long endurance cardio training. I mostly do cardio in the form of hikes, and 15minutes on the stairmaster 4 days a week. That’s about it. I’m sure bumping this up would help with my RHR, but I’m not sure about HRV. I don’t do any drugs or smoke, I drink max two nights a month.
What else can I do to support my HRV and RHR? I feel horrible waking up to such a low HRV every day. I don’t feel tired throughout the day and I’m getting stronger, so maybe it’s just bad genetics? I’m not sure. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
