Hi guys.. so my heart rate lies somewhere between 60-65 beats/min
Athletic people tend to have a lesser heart rate. Share yours!!! Its fun..
Also, does anybody have any idea how much athletic u need to be before it goes down.. i know many of you might not consider it imp but i recently got to know about this and got excited :D

    It's high 40s to low 50s. It varies from day to day.

    I am a doctor! Well almost almost. Just few more months to go.. that is why this topic sparked my interest. I am on to researching about the mechanism behind it.

    When I check it first thing in the morning before I get up it's around 50-55 bpm. Just sitting on the couch in the afternoon it's usually around 60-65.

    Fitbit had mine fluctuating between the late 40s early fifties for the whole month of May.. I was OVER the moon feeling like a TRUE athlete (lol) ....But then in June it climbed to the later 50's and sometimes early 60's so I don't know what that's all about... My fitness level was pretty much constant.

    Normally it lies somewhere between 72-100 beats/min. So a person having aroud 70 is said to have a lower limit of normal heart rate. Way to go guys. True athletes!!!

    Minimum is 48.
    (I test first thing in the morning as opposed to resting HR at random times of day for consistency....)

    Used to regard sub 60 as fit for me but I do a lot of cycling now. Before I lost weight and got fit it was around 65.
    I'm 56 YO.

    Occasionally dips to around 48, but usually between 52 and 56.

    Before I started working out and doing more cardio, my rate was 99. It is down to averaging around 70 -80.

    Mine rests in the 40's during sleep, 50's at rest during the day. Fully normal cardiology work-up. But I'm far from healthy yet-- 292 lbs (down from 330), multiple autoimmune diseases and several immune modulating medications and infusions, minimal exercise due to Myasthenia Gravis causing respiratory failure recently. But I was more athletic before the autoimmunity surfaced, about 6 years ago.

    I'm 25. And I'm no athlete, lol. The only exercise I get is walking. I shoot for the recommended 10000 steps/day though.

    Varies between 52 to 56. I know it is in the athletic range, but no way I feel like an athlete. That is because if I stop working out for about 5 days or so it quickly rises to 60-62.

    I'm 34 and my resting hr is now in the 70's. Prior to exercise and weight loss it was in the 90's with medication specifically for that reason. Now I'm off the medication and feel much better. Hoping to get it lower as I increase my activity.
