I'm just curious.
I'm 45 yrs, 6'-2" and about 222 lbs and since I've become a cardio junkie my RHR has come way down. It's about 39 bpm.
At first I was worried but the more I read about it, I guess it's a good thing.

What's yours?

    Mine is in the mid 70's. Would like it to be lower, but I'm not doing too much cardio right now. I'm 45 y.o.

    I'm trying to get mine down below my age. I'm 38, so I either have to get 6 beats fitter or 6 years older. :)

    I think it may partly be determined by genetics too. Some people just have a higher pulse and some lower.

    I am not sure, I think 45? My Dr told me I have an "athlete's heart rate" though.

    Mines at 48 seated resting. Guess it will be a bit lower at true rest (in bed on waking).

    That has come down from 59 a year and a half ago. It is a good thing, means your heart is working less hard to keep you ticking over :)

    Like most heart-related measurements, the change over a period of time and taken in the context of your overall fitness is a more useful value than a number by itself. It's kind of like comparing max heart rates that way.

    If it drops over several months when you are training a lot, that's a good thing.

    If you track it every morning, it can also give you some clues about when your body is wearing down and you need a break or when you have a cold coming on that you have not seen symptoms of yet (both of which are indicated by a 10% or more increase over your normal).

    The lowest I measure recently was 60, which was when I was stretching. I've never measure when I was 100% relaxed in bed.

    My hands are always cold at work when I'm sitting at my desk. I have wondered if that may be because of my lower heart rate now. It was never like that when I was out of shape.

    Just had a checkup last week, and this was one of the things my doctor was impressed with. I've been working out for six months and have lost 50 pounds, but still have over 100 pounds to lose and I'm 51 years old. My RHR is 60 which, apparently, is pretty good for someone like me.

    Usually in the mid 50's. It's been as low on a random test as 51. I'm 38 yrs old. It's AMAZING. It used to be consistently at 84!
