You can also track your stress levels with the Relax app. Using this application, you can practice meditation which includes deep breathing practices meant to teach you to control your inhalation and exhalation. The app also tracks your breathing rate by analyzing your heart rate. Users often ask, “What does alignment low mean on Fitbit?” So we will tell you the essence of this indicator on your watch.

The meaning of alignment

Fitbit breathing alignment refers to how your breathing matches your heart rate. Fitbit Relax alignment will allow you to learn to control your breathing and let your body rest to be satisfied. As you practice, the Fitbit display will show the quality of your breathing. Fitbit alignment usually shows three levels: low, medium, or high.

Low alignment on Fitbit – what does it mean?

Low alignment on Fitbit

Imagine that your Fitbit Charge 3 alignment shows a low level. It means that your breathing and heartbeat are not uniform or ideal. This value may appear if you are new to meditation or you haven’t calmed down before exercising using the Relax app. We advise you to practice every day. So, you can achieve complete relaxation by controlling your breathing. Also, watch your heart rate. These two values ​​must be uniform, then Fitbit will show the value "Ideal" or "Medium".

Low alignment Fitbit is not a good indicator of your breathing. This means that your heart rate is too high or too low and your breathing is irregular. In the process of measuring your breath, Fitbit can make the vibration that informs you of the intermediate results of the process. If you are a beginner but feel calm, it will be easy for you to reach the "Medium" level.

Recommended alignment level in the Fitbit app

A high level requires a combination of several factors, such as a regular heartbeat, even breathing with the same interval of inhalations and exhalations, and the absence of stress at the time of measurement.

F.A.Q.

Can I turn off the vibration in the Relax app?

Users often report that vibration while using the Relax app prevents them from concentrating. However, the application doesn’t allow you to turn off the vibration during the measurement of respiration and heart rate.

On which Fitbit models can I install Relax?

You can install Relax on Fitbit models like Charge 3, Versa Series, and Inspire HR. The app individually measures your breathing and heart rate.

If my Fitbit has a low alignment, does that mean I have trouble breathing?

Low alignment does not evaluate your breathing. This value just means that inhalations and exhalations are not synchronized.

Summary

Low alignment on your Fitbit means that your breathing and heartbeat are not even. To improve these values and, as a result, your health and ability to abstract from stress, you need to train as often as possible. Even a "Medium" value will be a good enough indicator for you. If you have additional questions, you can contact the Fitbit customer support center for help.
