I'm curious based on old threads I've been reading through.

Mine is awful... Usually about 96.

    Between 60-68. It's always been low, though.

    Mine is right at 60 although it's medicated. This morning as I got on the bike, it was 38. It didn't stay there very long though.

    Mine is in the 70s I believe...I'd have to check my HRM again b/c I know it's stored in there...what's your BP normally? I've heard mine is on the low side usually 96-98 over 62-66

    Mine used to be over 110. My entire life, even when I was relatively thin as a child and teenager.

    Then I started being really active and it is now 52 bpm.

    I just got an HRM yesterday. Mine appears to be around 65-69. It has been as low as 59 and got to 143 when I was climbing the stairs this morning. We'll see what it gets to tomorrow during Zumba.

    My BP is usually on the lower end of normal range as well.

    Mine is upper 50's-low 60's. I always thought that was pretty low but IDK.

    84 right now. It's really hot in here, which might be affecting it, but I know it's pretty high.

    It also gets embarrassingly high when I exercise. Like, 180-190. During cardio. I hope this is something that changes as I get in better shape!

    Mine's somewhere right around 60, probably low 60s. Although I still have quite a bit of weight to lose, I've been exercising regularly for close to 2 years.

    My average is about 65bpm. It averaged in the 80s at the beginning of the year before I got back into exercising regularly.

    46 - 49. On the flip side I can still talk during the step classes I teach to 195 - 198, but any higher I lose my ability to speak and at 205 I hyperventilate.

    Mine has always been on the high side too. About a year ago it was in the low 90's, my doc made me see a cardiologist. My heart is fine, I was just really, really out of shape. Several months of bootcamp later, my HR dropped into the low-mid 70's.

    My medication makes mine a bit lower, so I am around 50. 100/50 I have always had a low resting rate, but when I started my medication it lowered my metabolism :(

    Mine varies from 68-72 bpm sometimes lower since I am medicated.

    Mine's usually around 115 to 120, hoping it goes down soon. I've been exercising steadily for 2 months.
