To measure your resting heart rate:
1. Wear your watch. Lie down on your back and relax.
2. After about 1 minute, start a training session on your wearable. Choose any sport profile, for example Other indoor.
3. Lie still and breathe calmly for 3–5 minutes. Don't look at your training data during the measurement.
4. Stop the training session on your Polar device. Sync the wearable with the Polar Flow app or web service and check
the training summary for the value of your lowest heart rate (HR min)—this is your resting heart rate. Update your
resting heart rate to your physical settings in Polar Flow.
