“Your hand opening/closing demonstration saved my life.”
may remember this moment. It was at one of the they invited me to lead. It was what planted the seed in me to teach about the body to anyone who would listen.
A lovely attendee recounted how she was able to detect a heart issue she was having because, when she was driving, she couldn’t open and close her hand to the beat of her heart.
She went to the ER right away. Her heart issue was identified and addressed.
In this live, we will discuss:
What heart rate is (resting, max, recovery)
Why you should know it
How to use it
What changes to it can mean
How medication can impact it
And for women, how it naturally changes over the course of our cycle
Over the years, heart rate has helped us guide exercise programs and movement plans, detect pregnancy-related complications, and celebrate progress.
We want everyone to know as much as they can about their bodies so they can make informed health and life decisions, and so they can receive individualized guidance and care when it is needed.
I hope to see you on the live on January 25th at 5:30 pm EST.
