whats your resting heart rate?

ChrisD. · 13 Jul 2009 at 16:26

Around the 48 mark. Used to be around 56 before I quit smoking.

50-55 ish when relaxed, 70-110ish when semi active or exited over something, 200+ when wearing myself out ( running like hell). Yeah I had to run at school with heartbeat meters.

When I was last tested it was 48bpm, but then I was in proper training back then. No idea what it is at present, but I'm still fairly fit.

When I tested a while back with my heart rate monitor (from just waking lying flat on bed, as it told me to do this to calculate a HRM) when I was doing a lot of cardio it was 46, more like 60 now I've not been doing as much.

Mine goes below 40 bpm when Im asleep.

I had to get my ICD reprogrammed from 40bpm to 35bpm pace threshold otherwise I kept waking in the the night feeling my chest muscles pulsing as it raised me above 40bpm

I thought it was generally how fast your heart rate got back to its resting bpm after exercise that was a better measure of fitness.

According to that chart I'm on the border between athlete and excellent, and while I do regular exercise I certainly wouldn't put myself in that category of fitness.

Around 55. I have horrible circulation unless I exercize frequently :/ Constantly cold hands and feet and a really low blood pressure as well as nearing dangerously low blood sugar levels.

Kobrakai · 13 Jul 2009 at 18:10

70, im very unfit though

Fourstar · 13 Jul 2009 at 18:38

Mine was ~60 but after 9 months of no exercise it went up to ~70

Not checked recently though I guess it is somewhere in between.

60bpm, not bad for an old fart.

SexyGreyFox · 13 Jul 2009 at 18:45

Your resting heart rate should be taken when you first wake up in the morning and you haven't got out of bed yet.

At work I've got a 3D heart that is about 10 foot tall and you put a heart rate monitor on and it pumps at the same speed as your own.

Trifid · 13 Jul 2009 at 18:50

80ish...

breman1972 · 13 Jul 2009 at 20:07

Last year I had resting HR of 130 bpm, mind you was really ill for months, if I did anything, like stand up it would rise up to 160-180 bpm, was constantly sweating out of breath etc.
The plus side of this i managed to loose 2 stone in 4 weeks.

After the NHS did there magic I now have a resting HR of 80 bpm.

When you're sitting about 12 foot back with the 3D glasses it looks massive and I can also make it hit you in the face.
The picture on screen is of the lungs side on.
Using a gyro mouse I can take the body apart.
