[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did otf for 9 months or so, and I'm not generally a fitness person. I literally never got into orange. I would us and push and push, I wanted to die, and no orange. It was so discouraging. Especially after class when they would mention peoples achievements and I consistently felt like I was the fat girl who couldnt swing it.

They mentioned my resting heart rate might be low and offered to charge a couple of hundred dollars for metabolic testing, which I declined. (Interestingly, around the same time my grandfather was ill  and I learned that he had a low resting heartrate, and 2 other close family members told me they did too, so I guess it runs in the family.)

I stopped wearing the strap altogether at that point.[/quote]

they wouldn't just lower it? I have heard and read on reddit that they will lower your max HR if you ask but that they require VO2 Max testing to be done to raise your max HR (probably  a liability issue).

FWIW I too am someone who rarely gets a lot of splat points. I have a low resting HR. At one point my HR was completely off in the system (200) but when the refreshed it it went down to 191. So i get more splat points these days, but still nowhere near what others get despite working just as hard.[/quote]
