Would anyone with a Fitbit be happy to share their resting heart rate?

My Fitbit says my resting heart rate ranges from 63-67 but is normally either 64/65.

I thought that was ok until my friend said he was surprised it was so high Confused

I'm mid 30s and exercise fairly regularly, but I have a desk job which is quite stressful at times and eat too much junk food.

Anyone else happy to share theirs?

Mine is naturally low and drops to low 40s when I do a lot of endurance exercise

My partner is one of those naturally fit and althetic types, high aerobic capacity even in untrained state but his is quite high...around 70

48-54 here. A runner. Not massively fit but have stamina.

dinkystinky · 03/02/2016 09:46

57 - 60 here - about to turn 40 and exercise around 7 hours a week. 5 ft 4 and around 10 1/2 stone

My heart rate was in the 50-60s when I had undiagnosed hypothyroidism. It's now in the low 70s and I feel much better. I have normal-low blood pressure.

Mine is in the 70s, occasionally 80s.

I'm am overweight, 42 and walk for exercise at this time of year.

I use a fitbit one and it can't even track my kms properly, I've just run 12kms according to my GPS watch and the fitbit says 10.5kms.
I certainly wouldn't trust it to track my heart rate. I've got one of those little devices you put your finger in which use an electric wave to track both heart rate and oxygen in blood. That is much more accurate.

Anglaise posted a link to an age specific norm at the top of this page.

Higge · 03/02/2016 07:44

Mine is between 48-52. I thought normal was 60 - 80.

satsuma resting heart rate.

OnePlanOnHouzz · 03/02/2016 06:15

I have an unusually high resting heart rate - my GP is aware ( although not actually looking into it to find out why it's so high ?! )
If you are worried you could talk to you GP ?!

The picture of the satsuma in it tells you all you need to know really.

Mine ranges between 73-77. I'm late 30s, exercise regularly, healthy weight, eat clean, don't smoke and rarely drink these days. Interestingly I have low blood pressure!

I'm totally addicted to my electric ecig tho. Wondering if this is why :/

Pocketrocket31 · 31/01/2016 22:58

I'm worried about mine too, it's 77 today. Mostly high 70's
I'm 29
Do my 10k steps a day. Go to gym & swimming. Eat ok (ish) and weigh 9 & half stones

coffeeisnectar · 31/01/2016 22:49

Sorry to interrupt but I've got a flex and its stopped syncing to my phone. Still says 10pm yesterday and won't update my stats for today. Battery on flex is full. Phone has been restarted but still nothing. Any suggestions?

fredfredgeorgejnrsnr · 31/01/2016 22:45

low 40's at night 50 after being sat on the sofa for a bit, I'm male though, mind you female DP is lower than me always.

nbee84 · 29/01/2016 17:36

Reassuring to see a few higher ones after all the low ones at the start of the thread. Still worried that I'm not particularly fit though Shock Need to up my game a bit I think Grin

PseudoBadger · 29/01/2016 16:20

Mine's 75, I'm 35, reasonably active and not overweight

Anglaise1 · 29/01/2016 16:19

You can check your heart rate fitness on this resting heart rate chart

Smittenkitten2015 · 29/01/2016 16:14

Mine's 74, just to make you feel better.

From NHS Choices:

What's a normal heart rate?

Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm).
The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower.
You should contact your GP if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm, although this could just be normal for you.

Mine is generally 55-60, but it's always been on the lower side even when I am completely unfit.

nbee84 · 29/01/2016 15:58

Just read all these and am now worried as to why my resting heart rate is so high. It's usually around 75 - 80. It does go down to around 60 - 65 when I'm in bed asleep. I exercise several times a week - body pump, body conditioning and spin. I feel quite fit - I don't have trouble keeping up in spin, always manage to up my resistance every time the instructor says to.

I'm 46. 5ft 4in and 9½ stone. I don't smoke - gave up 3 years ago. I do have asthma, but it is mild and well controlled.

Maybe I'm not as fit as I thought! Any ideas Confused

Anglaise1 · 29/01/2016 12:28

Mine is 47, I'm 50. I run a lot and having a low resting heart rate really helps with the sport.
