To ask your resting heart rate

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?

45-50. By no means an athlete. Ignore Dr Google, it's just normal for some people... unless you have other symptoms.

86 according to my watch. I'm sure that's too high.

58 today according to my watch, but I'm not sure how reliable they are.

Right now, at rest 84bpm. Heart condition and currently not taking medication (probably should!).

Mine was mid 40s about 10 years ago, I was doing more running then but still not an athlete (5-10k 2/3 times a week).
Now at mid 50s. Less fit hut obviously older too.

i am 39 and not an athlete
mjnes always 39-50
i have wondered why mine is always quite low but I would say I’m healthy.
all 3 of my past watches have told me the same so can’t be an issue with watch.

Hovers between 55 and 60. I am an occasional runner, by no means an athlete

Shopgirl1 · 18/11/2024 17:49

Ranges from 39 to 41, but I am a runner, it has been tested and it’s just an athletes pulse.

Mine is 44. Definitely no athlete. It was picked up at a check up, I had a 24 hr monitor and a cardiology referral. They said it is just my normal.

61 at the moment, but I take a beta blocker.

RubyRooRed · 18/11/2024 17:47
