Apple's Cardio Recovery, previously known as heart rate recovery, is a health metric measured by the Apple Watch after workouts, reflecting the heart's response to the autonomic nervous system. Good Cardio Recovery numbers are a drop of 13 bpm or more after 1 minute, or 22 bpm or more after two minutes. To track and view Cardio Recovery, users can access the data on their Apple Watch and iPhone. Tips to improve Cardio Recovery include quality sleep, hydration, a nutritious diet, meditation, stress reduction, and avoiding alcohol.
