What is your resting heart rate?

[Hagar]

This morning, 63 and BP 145/75, 67 years old.

 

[Junglist]

Typically 53-60 as a resting heart rate.

I wouldn't call myself a beacon of health. I smoke every day, barely do more than 5000 steps a day but I try to play Badminton 2-3 times a week. 29, 5'11 and just a shade under 14 stone

 

[Martynt74]

Sat at my desk now my watch is showing 56.

For reference i'm 6'3 and fat at 108kg.

 

[wedrum]

62bpm here, drink quite a bit and smoke a tad too.
40 years young.

Where are the 'normal' people with a BPM over 80 then? Given that 60 to 100 is supposed to be normal.

Almost everyone here seems to be 50 to 70

I don't think a resting HR above 80 is normal. Although i suppose the main demographic on these forums are males 20-40 who probably should be aiming around 60ish.

60-100 is normal range of resting heart rates, which is why anything below 60 is classed bradycardia and anything above 100 is tachycardia. Like I said earlier, if its a concern, raise it with your gp who will probably do a few tests with you. At the range that you've listed, and if your asymptomatic i wouldn't be concerned.

Before dialysis started my resting heartbeat was 100. Now 6 months later it's in the 70s, although I did once see it in the 60s which made my day.

About 53/4 when sitting, i'm currently lying on the sofa and it's 49. Surprised it hasn't started to climb but i guess i'm still young and living off left over fitness from my more active days.

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

My range is between 45-192 bpm, but average resting (for the year) is 58 bpm.

 

[NotAGolf]

My fitbit says resting is 49bpm. But then again it also thinks I regularly hit 160 on a leisurely stroll at lunchtime but somehow only average 120 when busting my balls on the bike...

 

[Mobius 1]

80bpm. Although, my job is all physical. I don’t do much sitting around tbh.

 

[aaron]

Just checked on my s9, it's 90 which is about average for me. Often a bit over 100. God I need to get fit

I don't think a resting HR above 80 is normal.

Are you a doctor?

 

[Robzere31]

Usually around 50bpm, sleeping it can drop to low 40's. maxes out around 185-190bpm when on a hard climb on the bike.
49 years old (soon to be 50) & cycle most days.

 

[Rroff]

Just measured mine on my phone 51 resting. Spend a lot of time sitting but also according to my fitness tracker do around 7-8km a day - do more than 10K steps most days though my average this month so far is 9678. 5 foot 11 and 11 stone.

 

[Martynt74]

Are you a doctor?

Definitely not. But i think i'd be concerned if mine was that high when just lying around.

As i said though, it's probably largely age specific and at the age range of people on here, i'm expect the majority to be under 80.

 

[JBuk]

Last health check I had it averaged in the low 50’s

 

[SPG]

Resting heart-rate over the past 12months is 47 for me, 48yrs and 81kg according to my Garmin. (also obese according to BMI....)

Just sat and chilled out getting it low and managed to drop it to 38, I am practically dead on the inside.

33 years old, overweight.
