how to increase heart rate immediately while sitting - #20647
I am really worried. Last week at my gym, I was trying to hit a new personal record on the treadmill but my heart rate just wouldn't budge! I mean, I was working really hard, like sprinting and all, but my heart rate was stuck at like 110 bpm. I've read about how to increase heart rate immediately while sitting, which seems completely crazy to me. Is that even possible? Some friends suggested doing quick stretches or maybe deep breathing. But really, I just wanna know, how to increase heart rate immediately while sitting? I’ve tried the stretches and some light movement in my seat, but I feel like I'm just fooling around. I’ve been feeling sluggish lately and I guess I want that boost, like, can performing some isometric exercises help? Or does anyone know if drinking something like coffee works? Just feels weird thinking I might have to get my heart thumping while chilling in a chair. Would it work to just focus on something intense or maybe crank up the music? I dunno. Anyone got tips on how to increase heart rate immediately while sitting or should I just give up and stand up?
