    Mine is around 60. At my biggest and most out of shape there were times I couldn't get it under 100.

    From 50 - 60 BPM.

    Looking at the post it seems like this isn't too low ;-).

    Wondering what target heart rate should be and if 160 is too high to reach during a workout?

    At 85% your heart rate would be 154

    how are people so low? by resting do you actually mean sleeping? because sitting down i am around 70s...

    I was thinking the same! I'm shocked by all the low end resting heart rates. Mine is around 75 sitting and in the 90s if I'm standing at all. I'm a healthy weight and have very good blood pressure, no health problems. I think some of it is genetics--the people with low heart rates are the ones that want to post, I guess!

    it all has to do with cardiovascular health...like I had said earlier...mine used to be around mid 90's resting, and is now low 50's resting!!! That is the diff of NEVER working out, to now doing cardio exercise at LEAST 5 times/week for over a year straight!!! The more conditioned your heart is, the less it needs to beat to get your blood circulating :) Just keep up with the cardio, and healthy diet, and yours should go down too :)

    Resting heart rate is, by definition, your heart rate on waking. If you can't measure it then, then it's your heart rate once you've laying about for a while.

    My sitting about heart rate is about 50-60 (depending on what I'm doing). Resting heart rate is, as I said, about 45.
