    My resting heart rate is around 65bpm. I use my heart rate monitor, best thing I have bought.
    I love seeing my heart rate when exercising, although sometimes it beeps at me cause I hit 200 bpm when sprinting up hill haha

    My resting heart rate is around 55-58 bpm.

    When I exercise I use Polar RCX3.

    I used to run about 3 miles a day as well as hit the gym about 4 times a week. At that point my resting heart rate was about 42 bmp. Now I run a lot less but go to the gym 7 days a week and my resting heart rate is about 47bmp - 52bpm.

    There's a great iPhone app called Heart Monitor which I use its free and easy to use just place your finger over the light on your camera and wait patiently.

    My resting heart rate in the morning is usually between 61 - 65 which is "excellent" for my age range. I vary between powerwalks, lifting heavy weights and doing Pilates 6 days per week. I check my blood pressure every morning and my heart rate shows on there.

    I'm 52 and have been exercising very regularly for the past year. My rhr was in the 70's. Now after all the hours of incline treadmill, walking, water aerobics and Zumba it was 55 when I had my blood pressure taken a few days ago. This is considered in the athletic range (blood pressure 98/55). Exercise truly makes a difference.

    Before I started working out regularly it was between 75-80. Now it's between 55-60.

    Mine is about 60bpm also measured with finger and stop watch - Why complicate things?

    A refreshing approach in today's high tech world, make me want to go climb a mountain! Thanks for you input...I think 60 is pretty good too.

    Last year I think it was 70something, this year I am down to 50something. Oh, and I can run 15k in one go, not sure which impresses me more :-p

    I have little knowledge about this subject, but I ran across a web page with some charts that index age and resting heart rate ranges for men and women. Check it out: http://www.topendsports.com/testing/heart-rate-resting-chart.htm

    At last check my resting heart rate was 39, which I think is on the athletic side for a 50 year old man.

    Just looking at you guys' numbers...wow. I have anxiety and my heart rate is all over the place all the time. I'm lucky if I get it into the 70s. It has improved with exercise and weight loss, but it gets out of control with any amount of stress, and I have general anxiety so I'm generally anxious about everything. Any pointers?

    Ive heard yoga will help with anxiety - and I certainly know that running puts me in a zone. If youre not running give it a try. The only time I get antsy is when I havent been able to run!

    I must be a freak. 47 yo male, RHR = 40 bpm. Measured with a pulse oximeter over an entire night. Gets as low as 34 bpm at some points during the night.
