    Mines about 80 (I'm 33), normal resting heart rate is 60-100 bpm.... Actually come to think of it, that's not technically my "resting" HR, that's just normal activity. So never mind my # lol

    Mine is in the low 40s but has gotten as low as the 30s when very relaxed. I'm 35, and even when I smoked it was in the 50s. I have low BP as well.

    You lot are all quite fit with these low testing heart rates! Normal adult heart rate is anything from 60-100bpm. Lower heart rates down to 40 are seen in fit active athletes. I am actually reasonably fit but have always had a high rating heart rate of about 110-130bpm. Seen a cardiologist and he wasn't concerned so I've just gotten used to it - scared the hell out of a new gym trainer to see my hr go up to near 200 when running on treadmill!


    Today I did a little bit of high peak cardio and it got to 200 usually I don't check my heart rate doing cardio peak so it freaked me out a little lol

    If I get you as a patient and I don't know that about you,I would probably break out. Probably your respiratory rate is very low too lol

    45 - 50 on waking. If it's around 60, something is up (like foreshadowing of a cold, or one too many beers the night before) LOL.

    I'm 53.

    Now last fall... Closer to 95 to 110, but I was 68 pounds heavier then too.

    I credit running since September and cleaner living.

    It's around 53 to 55. I'm a 39 year old male, not particularly fit (and still overweight). Low blood pressure as well, which I've always had

    70. Down from 80. When I'm in shape, around 60. (Female--ours are higher.)

    Blood pressure anywhere from 115/85 to 90/55.

    So many factors involved... Is it reasonable to set this as a goal? How about just a tracking indicator of health?

    Have you spoken with your doctor about it?

    The general guideline for max heart rate is 220 minus your age for normal, healthy individuals:

    Age Target HR Zone 50-85% Average Maximum Heart Rate, 100%
    20 years 100-170 beats per minute 200 beats per minute
    30 years 95-162 beats per minute 190 beats per minute
    35 years 93-157 beats per minute 185 beats per minute
    40 years 90-153 beats per minute 180 beats per minute
    45 years 88-149 beats per minute 175 beats per minute
    50 years 85-145 beats per minute 170 beats per minute
    55 years 83-140 beats per minute 165 beats per minute
    60 years 80-136 beats per minute 160 beats per minute
    65 years 78-132 beats per minute 155 beats per minute
    70 years 75-128 beats per minute 150 beats per minute

    If you haven't already, invest in some sort of HRM. Years ago I was doing high-intensity spinning classes and was having issues with exercise-induced asthma. I bought a HRM and sure enough, when this was occurring I was close to my max heart rate. 15 years later and I still wear a HRM for my cardio workouts, but I have a pretty good sense of where I am in my zone without even looking anymore.

    My resting heart rate is 54, BTW. I'm 45 years old and my target for most of my runs is the 160-165 range.

    RHR is a factor of fitness, gender, and genetics.

    It's a byproduct, not a specific goal you can work towards.

    Mine is pretty high. I think it's generally around 75, but my last three doctors appts it has been 108, 99, and 88. In my defense, I have a thyroid disease, and my labs came back wonky. So, I blame that. =)

    I check mine every morning and it's in the low 50's. I started off being in the mid 90's. Very proud of myself. :)
