  Joel is one of the best and single-handledly changed the way I looked at conditioning when I was a young coach! Pumped to listen to this!

  I’m a 64yo woman with VO2 max measured 39-44 on Fitbit and HRV 25-35, mostly in the 30s. A year ago I had an afib scare and stopped drinking alcohol altogether. At that time, my HRV was regularly in the teens. When I stopped drinking, my HRV slowly climbed up to the 30s and has stayed there. Over the holidays, I had a few glasses of wine and my HRV again plummeted to the teens. I gave up that evening glass of wine!

  I&apos;m probably too easy to convince, but if this system delivers what you suggest, it&apos;s invaluable for me. &nbsp; Just ordered my M7.

  Dr. Attia, I wanted to make a comment about the Garmin. I also have one and I too have found the same problem with heat rate recording, but I found a potential solution. I started wearing the watch on the medial aspect of my wrist, and this aligns it over the radial artery which has improved the recording to &lt;10% error as compared to a digital HR. It truly helped. Maybe it will help others who don&apos;t have other options for HR recording.
