    About 48 since I started running. It was sometimes up in the 90s when I was obese, dropped to about 60 when I lost weight, then dropped again when I started running.

    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

    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?

    I agree that it probably has a lot to do with genetics as much as with fitness. My RHR was 44 when I was unfit and it’s still 44 now that I’m a runner. The difference for me is when I was unfit it took me 5 minutes or more to recover from any exertion (even a couple of flights of stairs had me gasping for breath) and now I can run miles and miles and my heart rate can go from the 170’s back down to the 60’s in about 30 seconds. I sometimes get the brief lightheadedness that happens if I’m resting and I get up too fast but it’s very, very mild.

    I’ll tell you what my doctor told me... he said in this case numbers alone don’t mean much, especially isolated numbers. It’s the general trend and numbers ACCOMPANIED BY SYMPTOMS that requires further investigation. Definitely mention it to your doctor and find out if there is any reason to be concerned, especially if the symptoms are affecting your quality of life.

    46 according to apple watch . . probably not the most accurate RHR reading. Been running consistently for a few years now. Recently set off the low heart rate alarm on a ER visit . . which was a cool feeling . . not recommending trips to the ER to check your heart rate. LOL

    Only if it stays low and you have other symptoms such as dizziness, feeling faint, etc.

    When the doctor saw how low mine was, that was what they asked me... if I felt those things. Since I don't, they weren't worried.
