How it works

Common questions

What is the resting heart rate?

Place a resting pulse in a common adult discussion range. Use it as a guide, not a diagnosis.

Does this replace my GP?

No. Calculators stay in the browser and cannot see you.

Can I share the number?

Share fitness and fun results if you like. Keep lab and alcohol impairment numbers private.
