    When I played comp soccer and varsity soccer, it was 45. It always annoyed nurses because I'd set off the alarms when in the hospital.
    Now it's probably in the 50s, as when I go to the doctor and my b/p and heart rate are taken (usually just after walking from the waiting room) it's in the 60s.

    Mine is mid 60's and always has been fairly low

    Conversely though my blood pressure is pretty high, at worst about 195/150, but I'm on meds for it now and it varies between around 120/85 to 140/100 depending on time of day and frame of mind!

    Mine is in the mid 50s normally. That didn't happen until I got fit. :)

    I had no clue that resting heart rate and fitness had anything to do with one another. My resting heart rate has ALWAYS been mid to upper 90's, even when I was running track and really active. I just thought it was genetic, because most of my mom's family is like that too. It gets scary close to 200 during exercise sometimes. My blood pressure is always on the lower side of normal.

    Usually around 60-65 - sometimes as low as 51 (sitting passenger seat of car/ watching tv)

    If you are not very fit, below 60 can be a sign of issues with the heart (bradycardia)

    My HRM (Suunto) asks you to lie down for 3 mins with the HRM on and eyes closed to measure resting heartrate for personal settings.

    When I have worked out I leave my HRM on to see how quickly my heart recovers

    You should have your thyroid checked. It may be overactive.

    Normal resting heart rate should be between 50's and 70's.

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

    Mine is awful... Usually about 96.

    I'm with you, usually around 88-94

    mine is 48 which is good and bad which means hard to burn tons of calories since harder get up high.
