Your first thought might be \u2013 \u201cIs that a good thing? Should my heart rate vary?\u201d\u00a0 The answers are yes and yes.<\/p><p>According to my Whoop fitness band, HRV is \u201dliterally the variance in time between the beats of your heart. So, if your heart rate is 60 beats per minute, it\u2019s not actually beating once every second. Within that minute there may be 0.9 seconds between two beats, for example, and 1.15 seconds between two others. The greater this variability is, the more \u201cready\u201d your body is to execute at a high level.\u201d<\/p><p>HRV is controlled by your autonomic nervous system, which has two branches, sympathetic (fight or flight response) or parasympathetic ( rest and repair).\u00a0 The sympathetic branch of your nervous system responds to stressors and activates your body to respond.\u00a0 The parasympathetic branch slows you down, allowing for rest, repair, growth, and digestion.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

body is t responsive and better able to adapt to stress.\u00a0 If your HRV is low, it often indicates that your nervous system is unable to adapt efficiently to stress along with the possibility that you\u00a0 may not be getting enough sleep, aren\u2019t fueling your body properly, or not drinking enough water.\u00a0 Typically, a low HRV indicates that your nervous system is stuck in a sympathetic
