    Almost the same! About 40-42 bpm and 45 years old.

    Age 43. Generally in the 50-54 range. I've seen as low as 48.

    Lately when I get out of the shower it is around 80 bpm according to my scale. I'm 44.

    Any research on whether a slow heart beat is good or bad?

    I'm 28, resting 45-50 or so.

    My Dr. said she could tell I had been exercising by my resting heart rate!

    If you've been dong lots of endurance training it's a natural adaptation. If you haven't it could be heart disease.

    Typically athletic people have a broader range (180+ when working, 50- when resting) but it's not an absolute. My mother and grandfather were both in the 30s for resting HR and were not athletic/fit. And there are some pretty decent athletes who have a higher resting rate.

    For me personally going from 200 to 150 lbs dropped the resting HR from 75 to 40.

    That's a huge drop. Great job
