To ask your resting heart rate

[Kate489]

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?

65 on average according to my Apple Watch. Did used to be an average of 74 until I started losing weight and exercising.

Mine is also naturally fairly low - usually somewhere between 58 and 62. Definitely not an athlete!

Mine averages at 48 according to my watch. Age 47 and reasonably fit.

Thank you for the responses! This is reassuring!

About 48-50 (on my watch but also confirmed manually and by a 24hr ECG). I'm mid 40s and exercise regularly but very fat and unfit. Agree with PP who said to ignore Dr Google. There is a wide range of normal and unless you have other symptoms it's unlikely to be a problem. Mine is likely genetic - my father who is even fatter and less fit (and obviously older!) than me is only a little bit higher (high 50s).

43-47 another runner here

Mine's always high. It's just the way I am.

Mid 40s normally though have seen it go as low as 39. Do lots of running (apart from at the moment with this awful virus that’s going round).

High 90's according to my fitbit. I'm 35.

65 which is a lot lower than it used to be, which confuses me as it dropped when I stopped exercise, eating fairly crappy and going through some serious health things, I’d have expected it to go up.

Reading all these has me a little worried now

Mines 86ish sometimes and if I slightly move goes up to 100! I'm only 32

Not overweight?

Mine is 50 this week. Aged 48, not very fit but lift weights. I had mine checked by wearing the monitor - there were no issues.
Reading this thread I’m wondering if this another one of those things in which average human really means average male.

77

Mine is mid- high 40s but I’m an athlete.

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

High 60s.

61 - fairly fit but no athlete

55bpm today on my Apple Watch.

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

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!

60

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....

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.

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!

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.
