    Typically, 55-60 bpm. BP: 105/60. I do cardio and weight training 3xs weekly and I am active on non-work out days usually bicycling, and moderately paced walking. I work part time but I don't have a sedentary job -- I'm in building and railroad construction and rehabilitation so I'm in motion-- climbing, walking, crawling.

    It is on the low side - usually in the low 40's (42-44).

    at 350+ lbs and smoking? 120. No kidding. At 400 lbs non-smoking? About 110. At 238 lbs, with daily exercise? 60.

    HALF.

    In fact, I had surgery last week and the alarm kept going off because my heartrate kept dropping to 50 and my blood pressure, which has gone from 145/105 to 105/60 kept dropping to below 90/50.

    It's amazing to me--they really do mean it when they say it's the percentage lost rather than the actual weight--I'm still obese, yet my vitals rock now.

    I'm aiming to get it below 60 with all the exercise I'm doing, don't think it should be too hard

    55-60 because I take beta blockers.

    I'm concluding that some of the posters here are really hummingbirds.

    your blood presure should be 100 + your age mines usally about 71over 131 which is about right ( i test mine at work ) but i think anything between 50-80 deending on age and weight is fine if in your not sure ask your doctor

    A lot of these seem low, but then again I have anxiety so maybe 120/86 isn't so abnormal.

    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.
    That's really low. It means your athletic!!!!
