To ask your resting heart rate

Mine is normally just below 50 when totally resting (aged 63). Has always been the same, am still relatively fit / active as I do an average almost 10k steps most days according to my phone (when much of the working day my phone is on the desk), albeit a little overweight, am no longer the super slim super fit 20/30 year old me!

75-80

Resting is 49 and it drops as low as 38 while sleeping - it's been investigated but they've just said that's my normal and not to worry...

Mine's usually 55-60 but it's been lower. I'm definitely not even close to being an athlete! I'm overweight and currently not exercising regularly. When I was at my most fit (still not an athlete though!) it was 50-52 most of the time.

My blood pressure's always been at the lowest end of the normal range, sometimes lower. I don't have any conditions causing this; it's just one of those things and not a problem.

73-ish but I take stimulant medication for ADHD, which increases heart rate. I also have a condition called POTS, which sends my heart rate haywire when I stand up/walk.

It goes from 60/70 when sitting to 120 when I stand up, and it stays above 100 until I sit down again. I think that probably skews my average.

70 despite being a runner and doing a lot of walking. Mine has been flagged up as being too high previously but various tests said it was fine.

I've had my watch to off several times to tell me I have an abnormal heart rate (100+) when I'm sat doing absolutely nothing. It went off loads during my weeks holiday and most of the time when it happened I was sat on a sun lounger.

Mine's around 55 according to my fitbit, although looking at the graph that's while sleeping. It's about 65-70 when I'm awake but sat down.

108 around 80 when asleep (AI illness).

Having read a bit more, my suspicion is that the 'normal' range is somewhat arbitrary and overdue for revision.

Measurements in the past have likely mostly been done in clinical settings rather than now when our watches can give a true 'vegging on the sofa' resting value, for one thing.

I found this paper which indicates that indicates that if you don't have an arrhythmia, lower RHRs aren't a problem - see the section on bradycardia. My Apple Watch always shows normal sinus rhythm, and I've got good heart rate variability so I'm pretty sure I'm fine.

Mine is similar to the OP's and my 5k time is the same as hers too. So, not athletic but reasonably fit and active, for which 55-60ish seems very normal (at my age - 61 - at any rate).

According to the British Heart Foundation, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 - 100 beats per minute.

Garmin Connect (which includes my night-time rate) says mine is 53, but if you look at daytime only, it's more like 65.

I'm a distance runner (my idea of fit is ready to run a half marathon on no notice) which I hink is a contributory factor to being low. I'm not worried about it being so low because it rises and falls appropriately with exercise. People with low heart rates need to check that is the case for them too - there is a condition known as heart block in which a low heart rate does not rise on exertion, and it's potentially serious (though can be well controlled with a pacemaker)

I am 30yo female and mine is 55bpm too, I am exercise intolerant so no athlete.

Around 60, but I do a lot of cardio.

Mine are based on both my Apple Watch and as taken by medics (including GP and during a recent hospital stay)- they are in agreement with each other. Low to mid 40s at rest, never higher.

Mine sits between 40-49. In my sleep my Apple Watch has logged it as low as 37. I'm not athletic but I do run once a week and do the occasional gym class. Medics say it's not a concern unless I have symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath, which I don't. It's apparently just my normal. My BP is also on the low side of normal, around 90/55. Again, just normal for me I think.

52..... but some days 48

I run about 3x per week, maybe 20-30 kms per week

Around 75 according to my Apple Watch. I had never really paid attention to my heart rate until my watch literally saved my life 6 weeks ago by alerting to me my soaring heart rate - I had sepsis.

Mine is between 60 and 75. Not very active apart from being on my feet all day (teacher), being a mum of two young ones, and walking the puppy for 20 minutes a day.
I need to exercise more surely.

Mine is between 65 and 75 usually. Was put on a new blood pressure tablet recently and it went down to 48. I only realised this because I was having chest pains and felt really weird. Didn't change my actual pressure though 🙄

Mines 56.
Very unfit other than walking.

If you run having a low pulse isn’t unusual. I am a midwife and even at full term the mums with low pulses are always runners, they are delighted when I mention this :)

Around 45-48 usually but I run so that makes a difference I’m told

yep.
I was told low heart beats need to be monitored. especially in peri as hormone changes can affect the heart.

Friend of mine was told hers was normal...for an Olympic athlete 40. She's now got a pacemaker.
