Mine is 199. I'm curious if this is high.

    I got 209, but I have a suspicion it may have been by HRM playing up. The highest before that was 195.

    That answer would be different depending on how old I was when I measured my highest heart rate.

    Your maximum heart rate changes as you age. When I was in my early 20's, I could get it up to around 200 for short bursts when I was interval training. Now that I'm 40, it rarely gets up to 175 or so - even when I'm doing tough anaerobic bursts. For most of my workouts, I like to keep my heart rate between 140-150.

    At your age, 199 sounds unusually high - but max heart rate can vary greatly from person to person. If I were you, I might consider running that number by your doctor just to be sure.

    180 during an RPM class, but I am quite fit. I never had a HRM when I was really unfit, so id imagine it would have gone higher then, and not gone down very fast. Now it comes down really fast too.
