ok so i just took my resting heart rate again
i took it a few weeks ago and it was about 98-101
today it was about 80-83
is this normal for it to drop?
does my new heart rate mean i'm getting healthier?
i made sure to do everything the same both times
what does this mean for my exercise route?
and do i need to work out harder now?

thank you in advance
<3 Amy

    It's normal for your resting heartrate to decrease due to exercise. The faster your beats, the harder your heart is working. Your heartrate decreasing is a sign that your heart is getting stronger. Good for you!
