Heart rate variability (HRV) has been a hot topic over the past year or so in response to the body’s ability to recover efficiently & effectively.

HRV is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is made up of both the parasympathetic + sympathetic nervous systems.

More & more research is being performed in the fitness world, especially with elite athletes.

But…what about the general population in response to maintaining a healthy lifestyle?

Today we discuss 3 questions:

  • What is HRV & why it is important?
  • What factors are considered in HRV?
  • How can you improve your HRV?

Also, I wanted to share with you my response to an “overtraining” experience earlier this year & how I got myself out of it (see links below).
