Resting Heart Rate

[Anonymous]

Do any of your keep track of your resting heart rate? If so, what is yours?

Mine varies:
48 on a good night
56 if something is stressing me
And variations between those.

Brag much, op?

Wow. Good for you. Mine is barely ever in the 50s.

Mine is in the upper 50s or 60s overnight, 70s if something isn’t right. I’ve always had a higher resting heart rate unfortunately.

In the 60s but I'm on a med that increases your HR as I had symptomatic bradycardia in the 40s.

Low 50s. Your resting rate improves with exercise, but it's also determined by genes, so the person with the lower rate isn't necessarily fitter. I know a super fit triathlete whose rate was in the 60s - he just has a naturally high rate.

High 30s to low 40s, but to this point - my max HR is fairly low (yes I run A LOT - 43M).

Lower resting heart rates are strongly correlated with lower all-cause mortality. Maybe because your lifetime aggregate heartbeats are like a car’s odometer?

My HR at night is in the 50s. But my watch shows my resting heart rate as mid to upper 60s. I guess it's the average? 57 year old female who exercises but needs to lose weight.

All very interesting. I wasn't trying to brag, just trying to get a sense for "real" people vs my subset of friends who are all athletes--I was, and still work out, but not nearly as much. I never kept track of my RHR during the years of intense working out. The surprise is the 10 point swing when my body is stressed.

Hmmm, RHR is the lowest it goes at night. The average is separate. Though I'm using an Oura ring to track. Perhaps a watch is different.

Yep, this is in line with my subset of friends, hence the question since my best is 48, I wanted a reality check.

I am using a Fitbit. Yesterday my HR was between 57 and 123 (at gym). RHR was ,67 for the day

I'm glad you found a way to control that. I'm sure that was scary.

Mine is on the other end of the range - upper 80s to mid-90s. Currently overweight but it was like this when I was 100 lbs too. BP is normal so my doctor isn’t concerned.
