In Episode 086, we talk heart rate monitoring for general health and fitness with John Lally of Firstbeat Technologies. Wearable technology is becoming more and more a part of everyone’s life, monitoring all aspects of health, wellness and fitness. But when it comes to heart rate, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about how to not only monitor hear rate effectively, but also use that information appropriately for improving overall fitness, burning fat and improving overall recovery. John walks us through his experiences using heart rate monitoring for all sorts of applications. He also shows us how heart rate monitoring can be used intelligently to help you achieve your own fitness and performance goals.

John Lally is the CEO and Founder of Pivot Sports Global, providing technical leadership for Firstbeat in the area of heart rate monitoring for athletes and general population fitness enthusiasts. John has extensive experience in working with heart rate monitoring for several decades working with all sports including ice hockey, rowing, football and basketball.
