What is your resting heart rate?

[belindaah]

Just curious. Someone said mine means I must be really fit but I'm not as active as I'd like to be.

Mine is normally between 59 and 64bpm at rest and I'm nowhere near as fit as I want to be. I'm currently trying to lose around 2/3 stone.

Outside of pregnancy about 59-60bpm. BMI 29, walk and swim occasionally, could eat a bit better probably. However can 'turn it on' fitness wise when I need to (for example completed a 50 mile bike ride with no training recently) so must have some level of fitness underneath 🤣

Currently 20 weeks pregnant so resting HR slightly higher.

59 according to my Apple Watch! Some people have naturally low RHR

Average for me tends to be between 61 and 68

About 42 which is low but my dad also has a v low heart rate so it’s at least partially genetic. I’m reasonably fit but not an elite athlete!

average over last 7 days is 57 according to Garmin watch.
I am 42 and I exercise regularly

Under 60 and I've a low blood pressure - statistics of an athlete apparently but sadly not the body 🙈

51 according to my Samsung watch. I do go to exercise classes but I am fat and am age 50.

About 70.

Av 54 so says my watch.

Mine is 54. Exericse classes daily during week, then walk sat & sunday

80 but I've got overactive thyroid so that causes it to be faster

I have absolutely no idea - why on earth would I need to know? Is this just something for the "worried well"?

Low pulse rate in a not massively fit person can be a symptom of low thyroid. Something to consider?

70, nobody seems interested after they've taken my super low blood pressure.
Lowest this year 69/58.

I suppose for the same reasons you'd want to know your weight. You'd probably realise if it was remarkably high or low, but it's not a bad idea to monitor it. And smart watches do that for you, so it's not like it takes any effort.

Mid to high 40s. Take on my smart watch so maybe not 100% accurate.

I’m quite active.

Low 40s and that's with me taking medication for hyperthyroidism.

High 80s. I do have a lot of autoimmune issues including lupus. I’ve had a lot of heart scans / tests etc because of medication I’ve had before and they’ve all been fine. I just seem to run fast….!

Mine is about 70. Mid 30s, don't exercise as much as I should but not fat.

It is high, and was very high when pregnant, but my sisters also have high RHR so I think genetic.

Resting 52-62 normally.

44 this week which is sadly almost the same as my BMI. I do exercise, and I do notice that it is lower when I am fitter, but I am definitely not an athlete. I don't have a thyroid but my thyroxine levels are well controlled, I think it's just genetic like someone else said.

70 is very normal, I wouldn't be worried about that at all.

Never thought I'd see competitively low heart rates, even on MN. New levels of bonkers 🤣🤣
