I've recently got a heart rate watch and was kinda shocked at my numbers...seems kinda low. Curious what the norm is. What your RHR?

    44, occasionally lower but usually 44. I’ve gotten incredulous looks from nurses when I set off the monitor alarm and they see it’s so low and I tell them no, I’m not feeling faint or dizzy :D

    56, which puts me in the "athlete" category as a 46-year-old woman.

    ETA @monkeefan1974 I hear that. I had surgery recently and the monitor went off when my heartrate dropped below 40. The nurse got on the phone for a cardiologist and then turned to me and said, "He's asking if you're a runner." I'm not, but I walk around 2 hours every day. Once that information was relayed, he said that it was probably nothing.

    (It should be noted that I was asymptomatic. Nobody panicked; there was no voice over the intercom announcing a "Code [Color]")

    And that was when I found out my RHR was 56.

    Around 65 when exercising regularly, when I am lazy or ill tends to rise up to about 70.

    Thanks for sharing. I've had some super low rates too. Over the last two weeks one RHR was 42 and another 35. Was like WTH! How? I think it has a lot to do with genetics. I also cycle.

    I have been dizzy everyday for the last month which is why I got the watch. I'm never dizzy when I'm resting though...happens every time I stand or sit up when I'm moderately active with a higher pulse (90-120). Does that happen to you?

    High 40's - low 50's.

    My resting heart rate used to be in the mid 90's when I first started losing weight 6 and a half years ago.

    Wow! Huge drop! That's amazing

    That's a huge drop! You're killing it. It's great to see someone else who cycles :smile:

    50-51. I have a pretty low resting heart rate now. My resting heart rate was around 72 a few years before I started making changes and would get up to 172 in the first 3 minutes of exercise! Now it's a struggle to hit those zones.

    High 40's to low 50's most of the time. In the winter probably mid-40's since I do a lot of HIIT on machines indoors. Goes up slightly in the Summer since I run outside more and do weight training inside and less HIIT.
