To ask your resting heart rate

137 replies

Mine is averaging 55bpm, which Dr Google says is too low unless I'm an athlete. I'm not an athlete. I would manage a 5km in 37 minutes at a push nowadays.

Wondering what yours is?

Varies between 55 & 60. I'm 45, about 3st overweight and not very active

LionAndEmperor13 · 18/11/2024 18:36

mine's around 35. Very unusual I know - had it checked out and it's fine, I have no other symptoms.

Youcunnyfunt · 18/11/2024 18:35

usually between 55-65
very active though (not an athlete) but is a pretty normal range in our family

MikeRafone · 18/11/2024 18:35

according to my watch 51

DragonGypsyDoris · 18/11/2024 18:33

Average 48 bpm over a full year. Not an athlete, just healthy.

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 18/11/2024 18:33

My resting heart rate has ranged from 130 to 150 at two recent checks. I’ve also had abnormal ECGs so I’m awaiting a cardiology appointment to see why as I am young and healthy otherwise.

Coffeeandgranola · 18/11/2024 18:29

~45 at rest - I'm mid 30's and fairly fit, but not an athlete.

Whenever I see a new healthcare person they always look a bit concerned and do follow up tests which then go on to show no issues 🤷‍♀️

TakeMe2Insanity · 18/11/2024 18:29

52-56 bpm according to apple watch. I was pregnant last year and was 80bpm until i gave birth!

UmopapIsdn · 18/11/2024 18:29

110

I’m a huge fatty.

Mandylovescandy · 18/11/2024 18:27

Over last 4 hrs my watch says low of 42 and high of 82 - 82 would have been walking briskly with shopping bags and looks like WFH was about 45. I would say I am not very fit just now but have done years of training so guess that explains it being low

moggiek · 18/11/2024 18:24

Currently 74. I’m 65 and walk about 3 miles a day.

MargaritaPracticallyCan · 18/11/2024 18:21

Around 56-58. I'm late 40s, walk 5/10k a day and work out 3 X a week. Pretty healthy, weight's fine.
If I do a high impact workout my BPM goes through the roof, but recovery is quick, so not worried about it.

marriednotdead · 18/11/2024 18:19

57 according to the machine at the GPs the other day. Which is slightly lower than my age. I'm active and slimmish but far from fit!

ADisreputableJade · 18/11/2024 18:19

44ish. Aged 64, overweight but do exercise from time to time. All the women on my mum's side have low heart rates, low blood pressure, and occasional low blood sugar levels. I used to faint a lot as a teenager but not happened for decades now. It seems to be our norm.

Mew2 · 18/11/2024 18:18

Normally about 65- until ovulation and time of the month when it sits at 71
Fairly fit and active-7 hours physical activity a week- but bmi of 39....

Notaflippinclue · 18/11/2024 18:17

60

Iceache · 18/11/2024 18:16

64 according to my watch. I exercise regularly and run, but I am not an athlete and mainly do it to keep my heart healthy!

HarrietJonesFlydaleNorth · 18/11/2024 18:14

54-58 and I'm very out of shape! Definitely not an athlete 😬 it's always been around this as far as I know.

SquatWeightaMinute · 18/11/2024 18:14

55bpm today on my Apple Watch.

Penguinmouse · 18/11/2024 18:13

61 - fairly fit but no athlete

PickAChew · 18/11/2024 18:11

High 60s.

Incakewetrust · 18/11/2024 18:11

Average resting rate is 71 according to my Apple Watch. At this exact moment, it's 82.

PeloMom · 18/11/2024 18:11
