  • I am now in my mid 60s but still go to the gym most days and concentrate on aerobic activities ie Xtrainer, concept 2 rower, stairmaster stepper and spin classes / watt bikes.

    I used to be a competitive road at times, and x country runner to a decent standard, over distances such as 5k, 5M,10K,10M and half marathon until OA of the knees…Read More

  • Hey there, just got the X2 in the mail today and gave it a first go on my Peloton. I am a recent heart transplant patient: I am 31 years old, F, and received my new heart on May 27th, 2022. Is something like this normal? Seems like it dips down significantly.

    • Likely you have the sensor inverted on your chest strap, Tory. Next workout, simply make sure that the button is on the side face the ground. That should invert the positioning of the ECG. HTH

    • That’s as normal as can be given a heart transplant. Or not, it would be hard to tell. Please take a look at what NSR normal sinus rhythm looks like; p wave followed by QRS wave, then t wave. The sensors record according to the position on your chest, p is upright, r is also positive, S wave is negative, the dip I think you’re describing. It’…Read More

    • Looks very similar to the PVC’s that i occasionally get during exercise (see attached file) . What were you doing during this period , if you don’t mind me asking. PVCs tend to be more frequent as we get older, but in many cases can be benign. However if you have loads during an aerobic exercise eg running (eg > 10-15% other rhythm, then may be…Read More

    • You have some PVCs. Can you feel these in your chest when they happen? How many do you have per minute ? I want to say don’t worry about them but it’s more complicated than that so you should ask your doctor who will drill into family history and general health to assess risk.

    • PVCs are tricky, do you want to be treated for something that doesn’t give you symptoms? If you have sustained pvcs, one after the other >5 or 6 in a row, then consider treatment.

  • Hi Malcolm, i get a few of these and for me they seem to coincide with working fairly hard on intervals, and on occasions i may feel a palpitation – and more often than not, i see the marker symbol on the HR graph. If i click on that point, it also then lines up the 20 sec ECG trace,and the unusual heart beat tends to stand out – like the example…Read More

    • Do you know what that market means? I have tons of them on my workouts but not sure how to interpret them. I’m sure it’s somewhere in the notes. Thanks in advance!
