    mine is like 80 :(
    it's always been high, and i dk why.
    according to my dr. i'm super healthy.
    my gym teachers throughout school used to look at me in disbelief when i reported what it was, and sometimes they would even recheck it themselves... even during my athletic years!

    i don't get it!

    also, my dr. always says my blood pressure is really good. low like a childs! ugh. lol.

    yeah. 120/80 is suppose to be normal. but i know what you are saying.. my boyfriend is like super athletic and he has a resting heart rate of 80 usually. I think it also depends on if you are on any percriptions or what you have eaten recently

    Usually around 45. Yeah, I'm just slow like that.

    One time I went on sick call and they got my pulse and they asked me "What did do recently?"

    I told them "Well I ran two miles and had a smoke"

    They made me lie down for two hours.

    Used to be around 85, but after 1+ month of regular exercise, it's gone down to 65ish.

    Mine's always been quite low. It's usually around 41 or 42. In college I used to give blood plasma, but before they'd hook me up to the machines they made me do jumping jacks. They just got too nervous about so low of a pulse. In fact once a nurse got all worried cause she thought she was doing it wrong. haha

    According to my HRM, mine is 85-90 every morning, which seems really high to me??

    Currently its 73/74, it was 84 when I started losing weight. I am hoping it'll go under 70 as I get closer to my goal.

    My wife's is 53.
