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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
