Question

what is my heart rate if im doing sit ups Resting HR:** Your heart rate before starting the exercise.
- **During HR:** Your heart rate while exercising.
- **Post HR:** Your heart rate immediately after finishing the exercise.
- **Duration:** The total time spent on the exercise in minutes.

Answer 1

To calculate your heart rate while doing sit-ups (During HR) and assess your resting and post-exercise heart rates, you'll need to take a few measurements. Here’s a step-by-step approach:

1. **Resting Heart Rate (Resting HR):** Measure your heart rate first thing in the morning before getting out of bed or after sitting quietly for at least 5 minutes. Count the beats for 60 seconds to get your resting heart rate.

2. **During Heart Rate (During HR):** While doing sit-ups, you can check your heart rate either by manually counting your pulse (for 15 seconds and multiplying by 4) or using a heart rate monitor. Measure it at a consistent point; for example, after performing a specific number of sit-ups or after a certain time.

3. **Post Heart Rate (Post HR):** Immediately after finishing your sit-ups, check your heart rate again using the same method as during the exercise. This will give you an idea of how much your heart rate increased due to the exercise.

4. **Duration:** Keep track of how long you spent doing sit-ups to compare the heart rate changes over time.

If you provide your specific resting, during, and post heart rates, along with the duration of your sit-up session, I can help you analyze the data further! If you just want to understand how heart rates typically respond to exercise like sit-ups, I can also provide general trends.
