heart rate

i was just wondering if anyone knows what their resting heart rate is, and what is it.

mine is between 60 and 65

 

48.

 

cool thats really low meaning your really fit

just to let everyone know the UK average is 77 bpm and i aint that sure about america or any where else ill get back to you on that

 

60 on the button, but I've just had a whole ton of caffeine.

 

When I used to be a 'National Standard' athlete, it was a lot lower than that.

I have noticed it starting to creep up over the years.

 

About 60 bpm for me.

What's considered healthy? Anyone have a chart for this stuff?

 

I always thought it was 72 - but that's only what I've been told.

 

Okay, another question then

When do you take your resting heart rate?
I think I've heard it's just after you wake up, but I could be wrong. I only did it now when I was sitting in front of the computer

 

Mine's 54, but I finished my lifting about a hour ago.

 

Got a resting pulse of 55

 

I heard it was first thing in the morning when you wake up.

 

^over half an hour after any physical exertion is fine, its not necessary to take it 1st thing in the morning, the difference would be fractional.
Mines 57

 

mines 57 also

i'm sitting in the couch now with laptop on my lap
finished training an hour and a half ago...

 

mid fifties these days...low forties in my cardio prime

 

Mines about mid sixties nowadays but i am under alot of stress lately from school etc and trying to fit my training around school.
I think i'm pretty fit i run 5 miles every morning along with all other training.
But i don't know.
Taken after school on computer writing this

 

it probably was but with obecity on the increase i'm sure peoples general fitness will be getting worse with it.
