Resting Heart Rate

[sara]

What is everyone's resting heart rate?
especially if you considered to be an athlete?

 

[kvyd]

Mine is 60. Im not really an athlete other than pick up games whenever and lifting weights.

 

[redspy]

I certainly wouldn't consider myself an athlete - 62-65bpm, assuming I'm not on clen.

Hi Sara, I took mine last week and it's 69-70, and I am ( obviously) not an athlete. :lol Then again I haven't been doing any cardio for 8 weeks now.....

 

[sara]

After cardio today.. 10 minutes after I had the HR monitor on and my HR was still 99

 

[sara]

sometimes I get my heart rate up to 182 during high intensity cardio

I've been doing 2 hrs of cardio per day for 2 years. Mine is 42 before strength training was added 6 months ago it was 38. Total weightloss of 173 lbs.

48 beats per minute. I've run about 8-16 miles a week for the past 2 years.

isn't 48 really really low? mine was like mid 30's and then went into mid 20's when I was sleeping and I was about to have a heart attack

 

[Luke9583]

I seem to do ok

 

[Tom_B]

lol ya there another person that ahd a low heart rate, anyways mines around 60 some I think

 

[Dale Mabry]

52, and I have surpassed my theoretical max (220-age) by 10bpm during sprints.

60, I do light cardio 3-4 times a week. Years ago when I ran 30-35 miles a week, my resting pulse rate was 36... A pulse can be too low. In the Air Force, a pilot's RPR needs to be above a certain number (not sure what it is). When pulling high G's, too low of a pulse can cause you to pass out. When mine was 36, I was lying down on a couch for an extended period, I stood up too quick, and I almost blacked out!
