How Often Should I Measure My Readiness?

For the most accurate Recovery results and personalized guidance, we recommend doing a measurement at least four (4) days per week. This allows us to adequately establish what “normal” looks like for you and better alert you when your HRV patterns show your body is under-recovered.

When you first start measuring, our algorithms need at least 2 days to start establishing your baseline patterns and will continue to build your baseline over a 2-week period. Then your baseline will continually update over time as your HRV, health, and fitness levels change. Consistency in how you do you measurement is important. Because HRV can be influenced by the day’s stressors and normal hormonal and circadian rhythms, consistency in measurement practice can reduce the effects of these confounding factors. Try to do your measurement in the same position every day (i.e. sitting or lying down) and try to do it around the same time of day, ideally within 30 minutes of waking in the morning prior to exercise or caffeine consumption.
