📊 What Gets Measured Gets Improved — Especially Your Heart
In this video, I break down the key metrics we track inside the Hubl Habit App — not to chase perfection, but to build awareness, consistency, and long-term cardiovascular health ❤️
These are the same metrics we reassess every few weeks in our programs because they reflect real health, not just weight on a scale.
🔑 Key Metrics We Track (and Why They Matter):
❤️ Resting Heart Rate (RHR)• How to measure: First thing in the morning before getting out of bed (or via a wearable)• Ideal midlife range: ~50–70 bpm• Lower = better cardiovascular efficiency
⏱ Heart Rate Recovery (HRR)• How to measure: Stop exercise, record HR → recheck after 1 minute• Ideal: Drop of 20+ bpm in 1 minute• One of the strongest predictors of longevity
🩺 Blood Pressure• How to measure: Seated, rested, arm at heart level• Ideal: ~120/80 mmHg or lower• Elevated BP silently stresses the heart over time
🫁 VO₂ Max (cardiorespiratory fitness)• How to measure: Lab test, smartwatch estimate, or submax fitness tests• Ideal midlife goal:• Women: >30–35 ml/kg/min• Men: >35–40 ml/kg/min• One of the most powerful predictors of lifespan
💪 Push-Ups (muscular endurance)• How to measure: Max reps with good form• Ideal midlife range:• Women: 10–20+• Men: 20–30+
🧍 Wall Sit (lower-body strength & stamina)• How to measure: Back to wall, thighs parallel• Ideal: 60–90+ seconds
🪜 Sit-to-Stand (functional strength)• How to measure: Reps in 30 seconds from a chair• Ideal: 15–20+ reps
🧗 Dead Hang (grip & upper-body resilience)• How to measure: Hang from a bar• Ideal: 30–60+ seconds
These metrics help us answer a much more important question than “What do you weigh?”➡️ How capable is your heart and body for the life you want to live?
✨ All metrics are explained, tracked, and revisited inside the Hubl Habit App, with guidance on how to improve each one safely through training, nutrition, and recovery.
