Illustration: cardio under a heart-rate ceiling, with the app telling you when to ease off A heart-rate line over time. A dashed line near the top marks your ceiling, worked out for you. The heart rate climbs until it nears the ceiling, where a callout reads Ease off, then settles lower and stays under it. Illustration only, no real data.

Why it matters

Max heart rate in one set? Your plan should know that.

  • 30+ bpmPOTS means your heart rate climbs by at least 30 beats a minute when you stand.1,2
  • Poorexercise tolerance is common in POTS.1,2
  • 3 in 4+More than 3 in 4 people with POTS are women.1,3

What the experts say

A regular, structured, progressive exercise programme. That's the recommendation.

The Heart Rhythm Society's expert consensus on POTS recommends a regular, structured, and progressive exercise programme.1 A 2025 review of the exercise studies found heart rate improved in every one of them.3

The published POTS programmes start lying down or seated, on a rowing machine, a recumbent bike or in the pool, and go upright later.1,4 Ask your doctor which machine to start on. Your plan uses the machines you pick, always under your ceiling.

On medication that changes your heart rate? Your cardio is still paced right for you, and your doctor's numbers always come first.
