My Personal Experience

I’ve been using my Fl400 Pulse Oximeter for a few weeks now and it’s been a blast! I’ve been using it to track my oxygen levels while I’m working out, and it’s been really interesting to see how they change depending on what I’m doing.

For example, when I’m doing cardio, my oxygen levels tend to be pretty high, but when I’m weightlifting, they drop a bit.

But, the real fun came when I was on a hike, it was a pretty steep incline and I was huffing and puffing pretty hard, but I was curious about my oxygen levels so I decided to take a reading. It was 78%! which is pretty low. I was surprised and a bit worried, but I knew that it was normal to have lower oxygen levels at high altitudes. It’s been a great tool for me to understand my body better and track my progress
