PurePulse Heart Rate

Fitbit believes that all your health and fitness goals begin with your heart. That’s why tracking your heart beat continuously is important. Fitbit’s PurePulse Heart Rate works by reflecting the green LED lights off the skin to detect changes in the blood flow and uses that data to track the beats per minute.

Tracks Weight Loss - By continuously tracking your heart rate, Alta HR can tell you how much of calories you are burning. This in turn will help you better reach your weight goals.

Maintain Right Workout Intensity - Continuous heart tracking during workouts will ensure that you don’t over exert yourself. The fitness band uses heart rate zones to help you find the right intensity for your workouts. For example, if your intention is to boost your basic endurance, you need to pace your workouts in the moderate intensity zone. If your aim is to increase muscle strength, you’ll need to work out in the medium-intensity zone and so on. Fitbit Alta HR even studies your resting heart to reveal changes in your cardiovascular health.

Reduce Stress - Finally, heart tracking also helps you reduce stress and anxiety and lower blood pressure. Based on your heart rate, you can take personalized guided breathing sessions to calm yourself any time of the day.

Sleep Tracking

Sleep Tracking

Exercise is great but getting a good night’s sleep is equally important. Fitbit Alta HR can automatically track your health duration and consistency. Fitbit Alta HR sports a new Sleep Stages feature that uses the heart rate to track your time in light, deep and REM sleep to help you understand your sleep quality. This feature is expected to roll out in the next few months.

Apart from these key features Alta HR also throws in some additional smart features like the ability to receive calls, text messages and calendar notifications. You’ll also get reminders to move so you reach your mini goals (that’s 250 steps each hour). Plus, customizable clock faces will ensure that you see the display that suits your taste.

The Fitbit app offers plenty of extra features for you to set your personal goals, get personalized video workouts, manage nutrition, and track your weight trends. All the data is synced automatically to your smartphone so your health data is only a tap away.
