My resting heart used to be 88-94 bpm six months ago and now it's 60 bpm! It's awesome how it improve so much after I started working out 6-7 times a week! Would still love to improve my resting heart rate so its lower.

    Usually between 50 and 60. I think 60 is really good for a woman as their resting rates are usually higher than men.

    Funny story. I was in the hospital to have a dislocated shoulder relocated. They had me hooked up to a monitor that was set to go to alarm when my heart rate dropped below 50. I was relaxed and focused enough waiting for discharge after the procedure was done to conciously lower my rate and make the alarm go off. I did this a few times because I got a kick out of my wife's state of panic since she thought I was dying every time.... She didnt find it so funny.

    Mine seems to hover around 60 as well...it's awesome having a hrm and being able to see it change as you work out! I did a really strenuous indoor aerobic video about a week ago and my friend asked what my max HR was....it was 174...he was pretty impressed!

    I am thrilled my rate is around 64. I used to hover around 100. Amazing what a little weight loss and exercise can do for you!

    High 40's, I think that's too low, I'm going to speak to my doc about it. It's not like I'm an Olympic athlete or anything....

    My resting heart rate is usually between 80-90.. I get up pretty high according to my HRM during workouts (usually averaging 170 in a workout).

    Yeah that's pretty high! My heart rate gets really high when I do cardio though... yesterday going running my average heart raate was 170 and my max was 197!

    Mine used to be consistently 84. Now, typically somewhere in the 60's! I just took it when I read the thread title and it was 60. That's a new low for me :-)

    45-50. It used to be over 90! Of course that was when I was 200 lbs, smoked 2 packs a day and was a committed couch potato.

    Probably not too low, if you are doing lots of cardio. Mine is in the upper 40's as well. Not a competitive athlete, but I do run quite a bit.

    I actually wore my HRM to work today, just out of curiosity. It's been down around 58 while I sit at my computer, and if I get up to walk around, it bounces up to the 90's, and then settles back down again.
