    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.

    Mine is usually around in the 70s. When it was 48, I was sent to ER. I don't understand how your HR's are so low and mine stays about the same as before I started working out and lost weight. My BP is somewhat low...

    Oddly, I just checked mine this morning. 48. It's been as low as 42-44 during marathon training. When my training is lighter it's usually 50-54

    My most recent check was last Saturday at Wal-Mart's free wellness check event. It was about 11:00 am and they measured me at 49 bpm. I'm 55 and have been doing this reducing gig with a lot of cardio for 17 months.

    Wow this is surprising how low many of you are. Nurses are always "worried" when mine is anything under 50.

    Low can be a health problem, or it can be an indication of being very fit. The nurse needs to know your background to know which it is. Okay, if you're obviously obese with a HR below 50, the assumption will be that it's a health issue. But I'm not in the obviously obese category, so whenever someone who doesn't know my history takes my HR the first question is, "Do you exercise regularly?" No, I don't exercise; I train for marathons.

    I'm guessing that with mine they're not worried because they take my lifestyle in to account. It goes up nice and high during exercise, in fact it goes up higher now (170) than it did when my resting was in the high 60/ low 70s (130 and I felt like I was dying).
