    Mitty, I suspect that you are correct that only those who have been exercising (maybe even, cardio exercises mostly) regularly have replied.

    A group of self selective individuals on a fitness site that measure their RHR?
    Hmm.

    In the fitness and exercise section?
    Double hmm.

    I just started my weight loss journey this week so my heart rate is still a little higher than everyone else (but normal) at 68.

    I was about 85-90 about a month ago and now average in the high 70's. I've started charting it along with my weight loss as a measure of my fitness.

    Depends on various factors... runs in the 50's at times, but is high 60's / low 70's right now (I am drinking diet Pepsi and the caffeine raises it). Average is 60's when I have a more consistent (lower) amount of caffeine in my system.

    72 but its not a true resting heart rate, ive been up for 3 hours now (i think youre supposed to do it when you FIRST wake)

    its the first time ive ever checked it so i dont have anything to compare it to LOL

    45 - 50. I'm a 44 year old, relatively new runner weighing about 127#. When I weighed 200# it was consistently 70 - 80.

    52. I exercise pretty much every day (cardio: 30-90 minutes), but still overweight.

    Unsure if that kind of information helps you with your unofficial research or not. :smile:

    I am not fit. Male, 5'9", 219.5 pounds, 39 years old.

    My resting heart rate averages 65-72. This is a true average for all times of the day when I am stationary but not necessarily resting. For when I'm truly resting (e.g. sleeping or lounging on the couch) it is around 58-62.

    I find coffee has a significant effect on my resting heart rate. The daily average goes up about 2 bpm for every 12 ozs I drink.

    When I'm in shape my RHR ranges from 45-50. Tore my MCL at the beginning of December so I had pretty much been sedentary until two weeks ago. RHR crept up anywhere from 50-60 from such a long time off.

    Female, 20, was ~230lb when I tore my MCL. Definitely heavier than that now but don't have a scale to know by how much. Unfortunate reality of sports injuries.

    Some may be surprised that your HR decreases with age, I've had some people tell me that their rate is good for their advanced age...
