The next era of heart measurements - get to know your body with the Readiness score!

Are you feeling ready to take on the day? Are you prepared to handle the tasks that come your way? To better understand your preparedness, look no further than Heartify's new score - Readiness.

What Is the Readiness Score?

A readiness score is a revolutionary tool to help you better understand your body and its signals. It provides a comprehensive overview of how to respond to stress and fatigue, allowing you to make smarter decisions about daily activities. Whether at work, home, or in the gym, Heartify helps you understand when to push yourself hard – and when to take time out for rest and active recovery. It focuses on two key health indicators, stress and energy levels, to accurately rate your readiness for the day. As more data points are collected, the accuracy level of the readiness score increases dramatically. Get to know your health and wellness needs and proactively plan to manage your performance levels throughout the day.

What do the numbers mean?

Once all this information has been gathered, Heartify Readiness gives you an overall readiness score of 0 - 100.
  • scores between 0-40
indicate that your body needs rest and active recovery
  • scores between 41-60
mean that your body can handle some moderate strenuous activities
  • 61 or above
indicate that you are well-recovered and ready to take on more challenging tasks

This allows you to plan your day following what's best for your body—hitting the gym or taking time out for rest and relaxation. If your readiness score is high, you're well recovered and ready to perform; if it's low, your body needs rest and active recovery.

What factors can impact your readiness score?

Maintaining a high level of Readiness throughout the day is vital for optimal performance in any task. Various external factors can impact your readiness score throughout the day. Knowing what factors affect your readiness score and how it changes over time can help you understand when it might be best to push yourself harder or back off depending on external circumstances beyond your control.
- Stressful situations at work or home can lead to increased levels of anxiety which will reduce one's overall readiness level.
- Poor sleep habits or excessive physical activity without adequate recovery time can also reduce readiness scores.
- Factors like nutrition and hydration play an essential role in maintaining optimal levels of recovery throughout the day, so it's important to pay attention to these elements to remain at peak performance all day.

How to improve Readiness?

If you find that your readiness score is low, don't worry! Here are some tips on how to improve it.
Understand Your Body Signals
One key to increasing your wellness is paying attention to how your body responds. If you sense something out of the normal range, you must take steps to reduce any physical stress or strain - make sure rest is part of the equation here too!
Manage Stress Levels
Managing stress levels is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and improving your readiness score. Stress can significantly impact your readiness score - if left unchecked, it can lead to long-term health issues like high blood pressure and depression. Take time daily for yourself – whether taking a few moments for deep breathing exercises or going for a walk – anything that helps you relax will help lower stress levels in the long run.
Get Enough Sleep
Sleep plays an essential role in keeping our bodies functioning mentally and physically. When we don't get enough sleep, our bodies become fatigued, which can cause our readiness score to drop. Get at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night - this will help ensure that your body has enough time for restorative rest and repair any damage caused by daily activities or stressors.

Heartify Readiness is the perfect way to gain insight into your body and ensure you're always prepared for life's obstacles. It can inform you about your physical activities and daily productivity so you can get tasks done while still caring for your body. It's not enough to power through our lives - we need to be able to recognize and respond when our bodies need a rest. Heartify Readiness can provide users with that much-needed insight to make better decisions about the productive output versus overall stress response. Get the most out of life by trying Readiness and understanding your physical limits today!
