    RHR: 56 average this week, sometimes into the high 40s. That's what my watch gives when first rising, but I can have lows in the morning that are in the low 40s.
    BMI: 27.2, ~13.5% body fat on DEXA though
    Age: 37.9
    In the past when I was about 25.5 BMI and 9.6% body fat with less endurance training, I'd had a month of RHR in the high 30s (~37-~41) for about a month.

    My BMI is about 25. Depending on who you ask, that's in the normal-slightly overweight range.

    Currently my RHR is mid-60s. When I'm training for a race, it dips into the 50s.

    I consider myself fit/athletic but could stand to lose a few lbs of body fat due to too much drinking over the last year.

    23.8 BMI
    RHR-44
    32 years old

    My RHR goes up when I am sick, it was 57 over christmas when I was sick, I can see it going up the days before I come down with something, so I usually know when Im about to be sick before it even hits.

    Im not super athletic, but i workout fairly regularly, and have for awhile with small 1-3 months hiatuses in there. But I shoot for 3 to 5 workouts a week, usually 3 lifting sessions, and 2 to 3 cardio of running, and somtimes on the recumbent bike if its really cold out.

    Iv also done 2 marathons 2 1/2 years ago, and my RHR wasnt any lower than now, but i did weigh a bit more.

    RHR is around 80 (according to my Fitbit)
    Low activity - Roughly 5000 steps a day

    My RHR is pretty high, I suppose. Its still in the normal range though, so I'm not too concerned. Hopefully it will drop once I start losing weight.

    My RHR is in the low 50's according to my Garmin, and my BMI is ~23 right now. I'm pretty active--10-12K steps per day including exercise.

    The number that is not on point is my blood pressure--it's borderline high, but I contend it's because they use the stupid automated machine that squeezes my arm so tight it hurts and stresses me out.

    Mine went down from 84 to 66 when I started losing weight and exercising. Exercise seems to have made the bigger impact.

    Last year start 75-95 normally, now 50-60 baseline with daily lows in the 40's and cardio heart rate right around 100 tracked on the same Apple Watch the whole time, rarely even on a strenuous run do I get much over 100. This was hand in hand with 100+ weight loss in a year plus exercise.

    My resting heart rate this week is between 53-54. My current BMI is 31 and I run 3x a week for 30 minutes and strength train for 30 minutes 3x a week. I get about 12,000 steps a day. FitBit says my Cardio Fitness score is 34 which they say is "Excellent". Before I (re)started MFP, my BMI was 42 and my resting heart rate averaged at 66 and my Cardio score hovered around 25, which is "average".
