    Ok. I was wondering because mine is 46-50 bpm and most of the information says that is abnormal in non-athletes, so I was wondering what other people clock in at. Sounds like I am fine.

    In the low to mid 50s. Before I started exercising so much it was around 75.

    If you work out a lot - you're an athlete and your heart rate will be lower. If you feel dizzy, faint, tired, weak, etc. then you should get it checked out.

    When I was heavy it was about 80 as the years went by it continued to drop as my weight dropped it got below 60 I called my SIL a DR and asked him I was concerned he said sit down get up sit down get up how do you feel I said fine no dizziness no problems he said dont worry I asked when should I worry he said when you get under 50 call me 3 months ago I called again sit down get up a few times he asked how do you feel I said fine so he said dont worry about it He is familiar with my progress and my joggingwalking running pace etc so even though I am still over 200 pounds my heart is responding in a good way and my resting HR shows it
    Resting HR now 48

    I have mitral valve prolapse and tachycardia so it runs faster than most. I do take medication for it and my resting heart rate runs 68 average.

    When I was fat @179lbs, it was in the 90's. Now that I'm down to 139 and 23% body fat, it's in the high 50's, low 60s. No wonder I don't feel as tired anymore. :)

    Mine has been in the 46-50 range lately, and my husband's has been this low for a while. Although it is theoretically "normal" for an athlete, our physician is still a little concerned about us getting enough electrolytes (especially magnesium).

    58 last time I checked. You've reminded me I need to check again though, cause that was a couple of months ago and I'm a bit more active now (if that's even possible)!

    So currently sitting watching Olympics on TV and it's 44-46 bpm, which is about normal for me. I don't feel dizzy or weak. I was very fit as a teenager as I was rowing, but didn't do a lot from 22-32, and started running again at 32. I am now 35 and run about 20 miles a week plus circuit training, I don't consider myself an athlete, but I am moderately fit. My max HR is about 191.

    When I first started losing weight 5 months ago mine was 72-75. Today it's in the low 50's.....and I feel great.

    My blood pressure was also 120-130/ / 80 and today it's 110/60. The benefits of lower weight and a lot of exercise.
