    What's your resting heart rate?

      55-60 bpm the last time I checked. However, I am due to check it again soon. From what I understand, my method for checking is rather unscientific, I just look at the HRM just as I am about to set out for a workout and it usually reads 55-60 bpm. You are supposed to check it after sitting still and doing nothing for 5 minutes (which is hard to do with two active kids, lol). I want to check it soon because I really should readjust my HRM so that I am getting more accurate burn measurements. I could also use the number to more accurately calculate TDEE.

      62 and that's down from the high 80's.
      Being fit changes everything.

      The last couple times I've checked my RHR has been around 100bpm and my BP has been 138/80...One of the big reasons behind my big push to lose weight...I refuse to be put on BP meds!

      Mine used to hover around the 140s before exercise, then when I would work out I felt dizzy and light headed. My HR was going over 200. I went to my doctor who put me on a beta blocker and now resting it is around 60-85, when I work out it gets around 130. MUCH better.

      When I smoked 2 packs a day, it was 68 bpm and blood pressure 120/80. Now, a year after quitting and losing 76 lbs, it's 52 bpm and the blood pressure is 100/65. I asked the doc if I was even clinically alive, lol.

      Mine is usually between 90 and 110. Maybe lower now, it's been a while since I measured.

      Mine stays around 50 and my blood pressure always on the very low end of normal. I have problems with fainting sometimes when I bump my funny bone or something like that. Other than that I am fine.

      Upper 40s ... I run several times a week...

      Mine runs between 45-55. At my last Doctor's appointment it was 48; I said to my Doctor, "That's awfully low, isn't it?" She said, "No, just a sign of a strong healthy heart." COOL!

      It has always been lower than most peopl I knew, 60 but now, after running for six months and becoming more fit it has gotten even lower, it is between 45-48. :)

      55. It was always at least 70 until I started running and dropped a few pounds starting a couple months ago. I'm surprised how quickly it changed. :)

      Been 60 every day since the day I was born. Doesn't matter if I'm running every day or fattening up on Wendys and KFC, it just loves to hum along at 60. Blood pressure has always been 80/120 as well. Never changes.

      I haven't checked it first thing, but sitting during the day it's around 64. That's down from the high 70s just 2 weeks ago!
