Everyone knows that taking time to relax is SO important for your sanity – but telling somebody to relax is easier said than done. Until now. The BodiMetrics Performance Monitor has a function called Relax Me which helps you slow down your breathing patterns, especially when you’re in a stressful situation.

When was the last time you ran late, on a Monday morning, got stuck in traffic, realized, “Oh my gosh, I left my coffee at home on the counter,” and you felt a little stressed.

Now imagine if, rather than just reacting to it, you were able to control your breathing, which would slow down your heart rhythms and allow you to relax. Which is exactly what this little device does. Let me show you how it works.

When you tap on the Relax Me icon, put your hands on the electrodes, and now, start to follow the wave with your breathing. Inhale as the line moves UP the graph and Exhale as the line moves DOWN. You’ll start to notice your heart rate dropping, and you’ll even have a relaxation score at the end of your session.

Unlike fitness trackers, the Relax Me function walks you through focused breathing exercises, utilizing your ECG and your Pulse Oximeter functions, so it’s gonna be more accurate, because it’s capturing your HRV.

HRV, or Heart Rate Variability, is the pattern of your heart rhythms, which play a large role in how you feel. When you’re relaxed, your heart rhythms are even and regular, which allows your immune system to be more efficient. But when you’re stressed, anxious, or frustrated, your HRV is high and erratic, and can have a negative effect on your heart and your health.

So, by making Relax Me part of your everyday routine, you can improve your HRV and your overall well-being, reduce stress related fatigue, and deal with stressful situations in a relaxed manner – and it only takes a few minutes of your day! What’s not to love?
