Record the number of heartbeats in each 15-second period for two full minutes after exercising.- APEX
How to measure your recovery heartrate and what it means:
1. Accelerate your heartrate through running, biking, or other method to an anerobic level (a pace you can do for only 20-30 seconds... such as a full sprint)
2. Measure the heart rate with a monitor at the end of the sprint.
3. Recover for 60 seconds by walking or biking slowly (do not stop moving!)
4. Measure the heart rate after 60 seconds and subtract that number from the peak.
The key:
POOR less than 12 Beats Per Minute (BPM) recovery
FAIR 12-20
Good 20-30
Excellent 30-40
Over 40 is outstanding.
The recovery rate is important because this is a measure of the soundness of our cardiovascular system and not just our heart health.
A recovery rate of greater than 35 BPM indicates almost no risk of sudden death from Heart disease!
12 or less increases the risk dramatically. People with this issue need to consult with their Doctor before exercising!
The faster the recovery heart rate drops, the more fit you are.
The recovery heart rate tells you how fit you are. Thus the relationship between the two is simple. Athletes will have a low recovery rate making them very healthy and fit.

Your heart recovery time is the time it takes you to get from your max heart rate to your resting heart rate.
An active workout makes your heart pump faster, and the amount of blood circulating increases. This increasing heart rate allows more oxygen to flow to your muscles and more carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes to be carried away. As you become more fit, your heart muscle works more efficiently. Checking your heart rate recovery is a good way to determine changes in your fitness level.

If you are fit, your breathing rateand heart rate arelow. During exercise they rise, but afterwards they return to normal very quickly. This is called they recovery rate and it is a good indicator of exercise.

A good resting heart rate is when your heart beats good and when your heart is in a good position.
as you exercise you heart muscle builds up therefore your heart doesn't have to do as much work to pump blood around the body so as you build up your heart muscle. therefore as you exercise your heart becomes stronger so your recovery rate is quicker.
