I'm 27 years old, and my resting heart rate is about 50 right now.0

69 BPM0

Mine is 52 - same as my age.
BTW my Dad was a long-range target rifle shooter who could consciously drop his heart rate at will for short periods. Used to freak the Docs when he dropped it to 20bpm while he was on an ECG.....0 -
I'm 27 and mine chills in the high 40's low 50's. Running helps...0

It used to be 60, but when I started running long distances, it dropped. Now it ranges consistently from high 40s to low 50s.0

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?
Ddude u got atrial fibralation. U need digoxin.
No, just No.
39 is fine for an athletic man. Call it a-fib at 108bpm, even then you NEED and ECG to diagnose. Don't go tossing crap like that out there like that.0 -
I started getting bad health problems a few years ago & my heart got bad. It used to be about 101 - Sometimes I'd end up in the ER & it was often between 140-150.
I've worked really hard getting my health & heart better the past year & 1/2, & now it's 78.
I'm trying to get it in the 60s at least.0 -
God damn...mine was 72 when measured at the doctor's two weeks ago, and they said that was perfectly fine...I'm a 41 yo man, 5' 11" 195lbs, fairly active for the past year .0

The last time I checked was summer 2012 & it was 60. No idea what it is now.0

My resting heart rate is between 45-50 bpm...but I am also taking a beta blocker.
There is such a thing as too low. If your resting rate is 39 bpm, you really should talk to your doctor.0 -
Mine's around 60, which is pretty good for a 44 year old0

40 years old, 5'7" and about 230 pounds. between 45-50 bpm. When I weighed 250, about 60-65 bpm.0

This. a-fib is a fast, fluttery heart rate, not a slow one. And yes, an EKG is needed to diagnose, along with correct interpretation by a cardiologist.0 -
Mine is usually in the low 60's- I check it with an iPhone app and only hit 59 once and it was in a boring meeting at work which made me laugh.0

A slow resting heart rate is called bradycardia. It can exist with or without other heart problems. It can be caused by genetics or conditioning through endurance exercise. A few years ago when my RHR started dipping below 30 on a regular basis, a cardiologist prescribed a pacemaker implant. My RHR is now 55 (the pacemaker set point) and my pacemaker is pacing my heart (upper left chamber) with little shocks for about 75% of the times it beats.
I think that the pacemaker has improved my health overall, but I am still not sure about what the long-term implications are of being dependent on a machine for 40, 50, 60 years if I last that long. Getting the pacemaker implanted was easier than learning to live with it. If I do a plank it is so heavy I can feel it sagging (like my belly and other parts of me.) It sometimes is irritating at night, finding a comfortable place where the pacemaker is not noticeable. But my energy level is much closer to normal now. I used to feel faint or just plain exhausted most of the time.
Long story short, if you think your RHR is so low that your low blood flow is interfering with blood flow to body parts (like your brain)... this number may be different for different people... see a cardiologist.0 -
In my case, i'm definitely a "low-beater" - HrMax is equally low on the scale - even under closely medically supervised and heavily "encouraged" (read your trainer screaming in your ear to keep going!!) the old diesel engine won't rev above the low 170's either.
...
I've been trying to figure out, over the last 6 months, if that is me or I'm just scared of trying hard. On the road, I couldnt get above 170, ever, but when I took the work indoors in the last couple of weeks, I found that my vision starts to narrow and I have to scream at myself to take the pain but I still can now get upto 175 for a short period. I know the age calc is bollox and its much more inidividual than that but I have to say that when I couldnt get above 170 on the road it affected my training motivation.
Anyone else felt similar? Is there any good testing or reading that anyone can recommend without spending hundreds?0
