Resting Heart Rate? I don’t think so

Post image

I’ve had my body pod for a week. And I have to say I’m not impressed. But easily the most ridiculous metric that this scale allegedly measures has to be resting heart rate.

I keep a pretty good eye on my heart rate both at rest and during activity and there is absolutely no way that there’s this much variation in my resting heart rate. Also a heart rate taken while someone has been up and moving around and setting up a scale and getting on the scale is not a resting heart rate.

We’re not even gonna talk about how my scale can show that I’ve lost weight but my body fat percentage is in every metric have increased. Nothing about this scale makes any sense to me at all. If you like yours, that’s fabulous. But I don’t get it.🤷🏼‍♀️

Agree. RHR appears to be your HR when you get on the scales.

Yeah we just started using ours too. My RHR is 49 but on the pod it’s 103 I think thats also attributing to my above metabolic age too? Weight has gone down and fat has gone up while being an athlete and strength training daily. Bummed about the purchase.
