Quick question about RHR. This morning I used my polar HRM to measure my RHR. I had to roll over and pick it up off the floor and then try and get the strap on me without much movement. I then hit start on my watch and laid in bed for about 2 minutes. Should I take my average over these two minutes, or should I take the lowest value?
My HRM kept beeping every time it hit a new low, so then I'd lift my head to look and that would cause my HR to rise slightly.
For instance, from 00:01:15 to 00:02:05, my HR declined the whole time. It reached a low at 00:02:15 with 42bpm. The watch beeped and I lifted my hand and head to look at the watch. Over the next 25 seconds my HR rose to 53bpm and then began to fall again (I stopped it as it fell).
Would this mean my RHR is 42bpm?
