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

40 - 45.... i have to check it regular to make sure I'm not dead
 
Without ivabradine it was up at around 150/55. With ivabradine it sits around 80/85

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.
 
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
 
58 -60 resting.
 
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.
 
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.
