    it's currently between 38 and 42, at work. But I'm never resting, I'm either asleep or working.

    Mine is 52 - one less than my age, which seems a reasonable target to maintain.
    Down from about 60 last summer when I started getting serious about my fitness.

    Just before I fall asleep it is usually around 50, sometimes as low as 44, when I wake up around 56-60, once I kept my heart rate monitor on and the average was 50.

    Wow, some of these are so low. Is that what it's "supposed" to be? Like lower the better type of thing?

    Wow...mine is always in the 80's/90's. When I exercise, it gets up to the 110's/120's. I have no heart problems either...

    Mine is around the low 90s.
    I had a virus that affected my heart muscle a few years ago. I'm on beta blockers and ACE inhibitor tablets to 'control' it... So I dread to think what it might be without the meds!
    I'm hoping becoming active might improve my health :smile:

    59!

    Last checked my RHR about 6 months ago, and it was 78 - all that swimming is obviously doing me some good :)

    Mine tends to average between 45-48 when I'm just stood still checking final texts/emails etc before I start a workout (at home). No idea what sitting/laying and resting would be.
    You people with really low heart rates make me feel less worried, lol. I'm still debating about mentioning it to my Dr next time I'm there as I don't consider myself as fit enough to warrant a heart rate that low and it's probably best to be sure I'm not about to randomly keel over and die.
