36yo and RHB = 60

Zero.

87 bpm!

Around 50.

Using a pulse oximeter (continuosly displays heart rate) as biofeedback, I can drop mine to low 40s, like 42 or so.

FYI, a year ago when I weighed 320 my resting heart rate was 80 to 90

40's to 50's most of the time low 50s

26, moderately active, smoker. I just had a smoke like 10 minutes ago, so I might need to check this again later.

I can never get a good reading trying to take my own, but when I check it at WalMart it's generally about 80 in Maryland and 70 in Arizona. Going to Arizona has a similar effect on blood pressure also.

I'm only about 5'9" maybe 160lbs at most, just been sitting on an my ass too much.

When I was in the pool training for swimming three hours a day way back when, it was 43 at the end of the season. Cross country running training it was usually about 53.

Now that I don't exercise much, it is about 73.

Low 50's, I think it was 51 when I got my insurance physical a few weeks ago.

No clue. I don't smoke but didn't know it messed with your resting heart rate. I guess the nicoteine would speed you up due to the speed like effects.

48 years old 53 resting heart rate. When I was 26 or so it was 42.

ETA: When I was 26 if I sat and really relaxed I could get it below 40

What he said.... but I'm female and 39.... he MIGHT be 39, but he's a he.

AFAIK, that's been my resting heart rate all my life except for a few years in my early 30's. (Was pretty sick). "Cause I remember it being 72 when I'd get physicals so I could play basketball & run track.

80-88 bpm.

But I have mild tachycardia. So it runs a little high anyway. Doc says normal for me., and not to worry about it.
If it drops below 70, I am constantly tired.

During sleep, it drops to around 50. Remember the nurses waking me in the hospital asking me if I felt ok.

Damn people, ya never get any sleep in there.

Just checked it.
Resting heart rate is 52bpm, I'm 49 years old and excersise regularly.

I am 58 and in the morning my RHR is 56. I'm a cyclist and get regular aerobic workouts.

Q: What is resting heart rate?
A: Resting heart rate (Resting HR) is the number of beats in one minute when you are at complete rest. Your resting heart rate indicates your basic fitness level. The more well-conditioned your body, the less effort and fewer beats per minute it takes your heart to pump blood to your body at rest.

Q: How do I determine Morning Resting Heart Rate (MRH)?
A: Immediately after awakening and before you get out of bed, measure your heart rate using your heart rate monitor or from the palpitating pulse from artery, counting the beats for 15 seconds and multiplying by four. You can sleep with your heart rate monitor on and in the morning read it first thing. Be aware of the fact that, if your bladder is full in the morning, you didn't sleep well, or you're feeling stressed, you might have a slightly elevated resting heart rate. Take these measurements for five consecutive days and find the average. This average is your actual resting heart rate. Resting heart rate is dependent on your living habits and a number of factors such as quality of sleep, stress level, and eating habits.

A mere shadow of my soccer all metropolitan High School days.

Right now, 84...but for me, the only real "resting" I get is right before I go to bed or wake up, then it's around 66 to 72...can get as low as 60 though.

It's routine for mine to be 90 to 100 if I'm walking around or doing anything. I've been to the doctor several times, and my cardiologist *claims* my heart is in perfect shape, according to EKGs and echocardiogram. He can't tell me why it beats so fast under normal conditions, and I made the mistake of mentioning anxiety attacks in my past. He immediately blamed everything on that, and suggested I see a shrink. The shrink asked why did he prescribe medication if it was all in my head, and suggested I go back to see him and ask him what's causing it.

I'm beginning to suspect the culprit is I'm fat and out of shape

. You'd have thought my cardiologist "might* have mentioned that. He prescribed a calcium channel blocker, but I don't take it.

I also have these little joys called premature ventricular contractions...beat skips, with a strong beat after the skipped one. It's quite entertaining on the days that I have hundreds of them. Then I'll go a month with only 1 or 2 a day...I have NO idea what triggers them.

I figure when I keel over dead, which I fully expect to do any day now, it will be total vindication for me that there was something wrong.
