    For the resting heart rate, are you guys taking it in the AM before you get out of bed, or just randomly sitting around?

    Resting heart rate: about 75
    Age: 32
    Weight: 145
    How many days a week do you work out: 5-6
    How long do you work out: 80min
    What work outs do you do: bicycling (mountain and road), rock climbing
    Maximum heart rate you have ever hit: 210
    Average heart rate while workingout: 169

    I bike about four days and climb the other two. I've done alot of research on heart rate because mine is high. I doesn't mean much to have a higher heart rate. What really matters is how long to take to recover. Here's a link if anyone is interested knowing more about Heart Rates.

    Weight: 200
    Height: 6' 1.5"
    Resting HR: 45
    How many days: Basically every day until I feel I need a day off--avg maybe 3 days off a month
    What do I do? Cardio 20-60 min, rotating between cross trainer, stairclimber and running on treadmill, with different intensity combinations; strength training 2x week on average, again cycling through different combos of exercises, weights, sets, etc.
    Max HR achieved: In the last year that I have been exercising regularly, I have hit 152-155 at the end of some long, "performance" cardio efforts. HR normally averages 125-135. Both max and avg HR are significantly lower than 10 years ago.
