Given that blood pressure medications affect maximum heart rate through various mechanisms, how should I interpret my ECG data? Is perceived effort and zone-based training accurate or meaningful in this context?
Should I adjust my goals whilst taking medication?
(I’m already a member of the Heart Program but I thought some general info might be…Read More1 Comment-

Hi Chris,
Perceived effort and breathing rate is a great tool to understand how to set your training zones, while on blood pressure medications. Once you have a good idea of how your heart zones have changed with the medication, you can move to using heart rate zones as well. Interpreting the ECG is not very different, other than of course…Read More

I am on a beta-blocker, Atenelol, which affects heart rate measurements. What setting would I need to change on my device to account for atenolol?

A good rule of thumb to follow if you know the difference between your resting heart rate before and after your beta-blocker would be to customise your heart rate…Read More

Excited to start using my Frontier X. I ran long distance in high school and college, then life showed up. I hope to be able to utilze FX to help me get back to solid performance metrics safely.
18 years ago I wasn’t as concerned about limits 😆

Hi Diane,
Since you’re looking to hit a target heart rate, perhaps you can set alerts on heart rate instead of breathing rate to achieve your goal. 60 breaths a minute would be a high-intensity effort! Keeping in mind your medical issues it would be best to get clearance from an expert to make sure you’re not pushing yourself too hard.
We’ve had…Read More
