HRV has significantly dropped

For those already monitoring their HRV trend, how has it evolved on your Reta journey? For me, one month in, I have gone from an average of 130-177 to BARELY cracking through 100–in fact sitting somewhere between 60-80, which for my baseline is horrendous.

Are there mechanisms to be set against the constantly exacerbating decline or does it eventually get better down the line?

Do I HAVE to get my steps in?

Hi! (25f) here. I would say I’m pretty active, I strength train up to 4-5 times a week alongside other activities practiced throughout. However, I found myself to be really slacking on steps as of late, barely averaging 5-7k, and with that, I’ve seen that I’ve plateaued.

I did have a phase last year in where I maintained an average of 10-15k steps a day but with no strength training incorporated and I found for the results to be underwhelming, hence stopping this habit.

Is the takeaway that these two habits (steps & strength training) are better practiced together? For those who do, how exactly is that maintained?
