Curiosity - resting heart rate

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".
@speyerj that’s interesting, how old are you? I’m asking because my current Cardio Fitness score by Fitbit is 29-33, which they class as poor to fair. Excellent would be more than 50 according to my app. It says ”women 20-29” on top, so I’m wondering how this will change with age or if there’s some other difference in our stats/apps.1 -

Yeah, mine is 33-37 (fair-average). I'm 42 and male.

Well, mine seems a bit weird, as in its much lower than I would expect it to be.
I'm 51, just under 14st and feel fat and unfit. Blood pressure is always high and I struggle to bring it under control naturally and when looking at the Garmin I expected RHR to be high 60's but its not, its 52. it's been much lower though, I noticed whenever I stopped the drink it went down to high 40's, and when I had 3 months off the dreaded alcohol it registered a record low of 42 (had lost a bit of weight then as well).
Don't know if there is any correlation between heart health/blood pressure and RHR but with having high BP I automatically assumed RHR would also be high - apparently not though!
Alcohol is massive a factor though, when I start drinking you can see the RHR go up day by day...which begs the question why start drinking again but thats a whole other thread !!0 -
My RHR is in the mid to upper 60s. My BMI is 21.5. I'm in very good shape - distance runner for several years, strength training, yoga. I've never been overweight; my RHR has always been about the same, I think since I was a kid.0

5'8" tall, 68 years old, BMI 23.9, resting heart rate 53. I've had a slow pulse as long as I can remember, even when I was obese. Used to laugh at it when people would say "oh, you have the resting heart rate of a pro athlete"... yeah, right! Some of us just have a slow pulse! lol0

According to my Fitbit, my RHR stays pretty steady between 49-51.
Stats: M 45, 6' 200. Been into triathlons for a number of years but current weight is far off where I've been at my best.0 -
It's been so quiet, I thought I'd bump this thread
Any women who have noticed a lower RHR during their period?
Since getting my new activity tracker (with HRM) I've noticed that my resting heart rate drops from the mid-50's to the high 40's during my period. (I also get more skipped beats during my period)0 -
My resting heart rate is 59 bpm. I am 5’4”, 125 lbs after having lost about 103 lbs over two years. Current BMI is 21.5. I was about 60 bpm before starting to lose weight, so no real change there.
I feel MUCH fitter, can walk a ton, can do a slow jog for quite a long time, feel much stronger than I was.1 -
Mine is 53 now. It was 56 at the beginning of last year. I am still technically obese but now just barely. I do not keep up with my BMI. I would describe my current level of fitness as fair.
My fitness has steadily improved. It started at appalling in early 2018. Last year this time when my RHR was 56 it had improved to poor.
Mine has dropped to 47 since this thread was first created. I am not sure if it is a true RHR but it is what Apple Watch reports. During the day I will sometimes glance at it and catch a 50 - 53 here and there, it is 51 now. My average last year around this time was 57 and that was on medication which I no longer need.

BMI: 21.8
current RHR: 56 BPM
average RHR: 52-57 BPM
I don't track my RHR all that much but as I've gotten more active, I've noticed that it certainly has gone down from the 60's to the 50's. Since I don't track my RHR too closely, I'm not too sure how my period affects it. It seems like it should be lower since I'm more lethargic during my period.0 -
