Totally unfit but have a low( ish) heart rate

I'm 35 and don't do, and never done, enough exercise (Pilates once a week but no cardio), have a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, etc.
My heart rate is 60 which, according to Dr Google, is on the low side. Isn't this a bit weird???
I know I should get off my backside but this measurement helps me give myself another reason to not exercise.
Someone please tell me to get off my arse and be more active!

Get off your arse and be more active!

There Grin

60bpm is normal.
You have NO excuse not to exercise.

Ultra-fit athletes, say, Tour de France cyclists can have resting heart rates in their high 30s.....
