    I have no idea. I'm up, I know I'm alive, I go about my day.

    When I think to check it, it's usually around 45-47 BPM.

    Around 48bpm.

    Used to think around 60 was "fit for me" and then I rediscovered cycling...

    Currently 72, but was walking around.
    Usually in 50s in the am at my desk.
    Higher 60s after my lunch workout.

    We had an interesting discussion about this in an IF thread.
    Someone claimed to have a higher morning resting heart rate after fasting. I didn't find this true in my case.

    Lately, it averages at 50bpm. Used to be in the mid-40s when my weekly running miles were higher.

    48bpm Usually. It is sometimes elevated by a flying elbow drops from a small child who is trying to wake me.... That being said... I am 46 and a distance runner.

    61, male, distance runner. Estimating around 45, hard to measure and hard to remember to measure when I'm still in bed. Last routine physical, the nurse told me 46; but that was just sitting quietly, not lying down.

    You guys appear to be amazingly fit.

    As per my Garmin, my RHR is averaging around 63 this month. But in the morning just upon waking up it seems to be a few bpm below at about 60 or so. Trying to get fitter. In the last six months it has come down by almost 10 bpm. Hopefully that trend will continue. I'd love to get this average into the 50s if I can. Doing mostly running/walking about 2 miles every day.

    Age: upper 40s.

    41 y.o. slowly getting into shape guy here. I generally measure around 70 but my readings may be slightly skewed because I tend to measure when I think of it and not when I first wake up.
