What's your resting heart rate?

[douglas99]

Just a quick poll, what's your heart rate?

 

[noblehead]

Voted Douglas and will be interested in the results, mine use to sit around 80 but dropped down once I lost weight and got a little bit fitter.

Good question, as you know I'm having some issues with this at the mo, 44 was my lowest this week, and I vary throughout the day around 48's. 46 was recorded with the DN on Monday.

People's heart rates can vary and medication will alter them.
This article explains what a healthy heart rate is

This one explains the effects of some medications when resting and during exercise.

52 this morning but usually in the 40s so maybe I wasn't "resting" enough

A healthy heart rate may vary considerably with age, below is a graph showing target heart rates after exercise for varying age groups.

The above graph was taken from a screen capture from The American Heart Associations web site
http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Getti...ity/Target-Heart-Rates_UCM_434341_Article.jsp

I must point out that these figures are target rates for post exercise and not resting

About 110 before I was diagnosed, and now at 80-85 on bisoprolol. No cause has been found for my fast heart rate... but still, they insist on looking for one lol.

I have been around 48 for years but am certainly no athlete. It turned out I was hypothyroid and bradycardia is a very common symptom indeed. I still haven't managed to get it up much, but average 55. Also basal body temp has gone up, from 36,2 to 36,7.

 

[badcat]

Varies between high 60s and high 70's, usually around 73/74

 

[xyzzy]

57 according to the app on my phone.

88 bpm

 

[ElyDave]

typically 44-46, although I've seen as low as 38.

That 220 minus age is a load of ******** though. Very much dependent on exercise mechanism as well. Cycling gives me much lower HR than running which is much lower than rowing for the same output, all depends on a whole load of external factors plus muscle mass involved

 

[Alanp35]

60-65

58 -60 resting.

 

[sugarmog]

My usual resting heartbeat is 72bpm. Has been for years and doesn't seem to change with weight loss/gain. However, it can go up to about 80 and sometimes as low as 60.

 

[Thommothebear]

My resting rate is 58, max is around 164, happy to exercise at 95% max during HIT intervals, but do most exercise at around 140

For base building I'm at 148 as a cap, only go higher during deliberate training periods, tempo runs, speedwork etc, same on the bike.

For fitness you want a good base and spend most of your time building it.
