Just got bored and decided to measure my resting heart rate - came out at 52 which I'm surprised and very happy with :)

What's yours?
(Sit/lie down on the couch and relax for 10-15 before measuring it to get an accurate reading)

    Mine's about 63. I like taking my pulse every so often, something comforting about feeling the thumps beneath my fingertips. :smile:

    Mine's usually between 80-100. 88 right now.... but I also have periods of tacchycardia. I've had times where resting is around 150... and when I was on a heart monitor it got into the 200s while I was asleep.

    Not bad everyone mostly...keep up the fitness and it'll get even lower!

    Last time I remember checking, a couple of years back, I was somewhere around the 75 mark :)

    According to the nifty little app I just downloaded, it is currently 58. That's probably accurate as when I'm just sitting around with my hrm on before I start working out, its usually around 56-59.

    i have low blood pressure so its always been around 65-80. Lately though it has been 90-120 off and on due to my birth control i think and anxiety.
