ME/CFS: Below The Threshold Facebook Group

This group is for people with ME/CFS using a heart rate monitor (HRM) to stay below their aerobic threshold (AT). The contents of this group have been compiled into "the ultimate guide to pacing with a HRM," available to download here. https://paradoxfloss.gumroad.com/l/belowthethreshold

ME/CFS - Pacing with a Heart Monitor #2 Facebook Group

We are focused on learning how to use Heart Rate Monitors and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to improve pacing, living within your energy limits, and to minimise or eliminate PEM. In order to keep the focus of the group on HRMs and pacing, we don’t allow broader discussion of the experience of living with ME/CFS.
