“Biofeedback is a process that enables an individual to learn how to change physiological activity for the purposes of improving health and performance" - The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback
What biofeedback does for us is give us a tool to assess our own exercise physiology. It allows us to measure and monitor our heart rate, breathing patterns, muscle activity, and skin temperature. How do we do this? In class you will notice how each workout is labeled with an effort or intensity level. An example we will use is 95-97% effort. These numbers are interchangeable with your heart rate and tangible to your breathing patterns and muscle activity. The more familiar you get with the movements in class and the more consistent you train various effort/heart-rate levels, the more you will be able to control which heart-rate zone you are pursuing in a workout.
