What is The Cardio Fitness Score?
The Cardio Fitness Numbers are a combination of a resting heart rate, age, sex, weight, sleep, and how well oxygen is used while working out. Fitbit has a very good explanation on its website and the phone app.
Cardio Fitness Score
May 2021 Cardio Fitness Score
These are my worst scores to date and I’m still happy. To get over 43-47 takes too much exertion. If I need to push, yes I know I can.So I know from experience there are those including a few gym trainers that will argue about levels of exertion or stressing the body for building muscle or health. I’m not one of those.
I’m surprised at the number of friends I’ve talked to that used a gym trainer when starting a gym membership and had to stop working out because of physical problems caused by stress on the joints. There is a reason we feel pain, and that’s to let us know something is wrong.
Making slow and steady improvement is more important than overnight gains. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask your doctor to help support your health progress.
Recovery Time
Doing a combo of Qi gong and weights. Recovery time shows up by how fast the heart rate levels off near the resting heart rate.January Cardio Fitness Score
Looks like I’ve dropped a bit. No I’m not hibernating, actually doing more HIIT, about twice a week.October Cardio Fitness Score
Even though my weight has gone down so has my cardio fitness score.I was surprised the numbers did not go up because of the weight loss. The highest score happened when I was moving and exerting a lot of energy so the plan is to add a couple of days of HIIT per week.
September Cardio Fitness Score
The numbers are increasing. Fitbit has recommended to lose weight (I’ve lost 2.6 pounds in September) and the score has gone up by 2 points.

Excellent Nice! Fitbit says my score is related to weight and to bring my score up I should lose weight and be careful not to lose muscle.

Best Cardio Fitness Numbers So Far
These are my best numbers to date. This chart was taken on August 8th, 2018.
Cardio Fitness or Overall Heart Health
This chart gives an overview of your heart rate health.
There’s a good description on the phone or online, in short, I believe it measures how hard your heart works while resting and at peak periods while working out and then determines how efficiently the heart works with the rest of your body.
This is why it’s so important to lower or follow your heart at rest.
Cardio Fitness Chart for July, 2017
There’s a slight up tick because I lost 5 pounds. Planning on increasing yoga and Qigong practices.
Observations This has moved up 1 point from 42 – 46 and thought I could move it up higher with more steps or longer walks.
Actions & Goals I’d like to see this get into the 60s by the end of the year. Now I’m not too sure I can accomplish this by the end of the year.
June, 2017
Observations Surprised to see this so high, since I’ve been working as a web designer I’ve taken little care of my health and so considered my heart health less than average.
Actions & Goals I’d like to see this get into the 60s by the end of the year.
