What's your resting heart rate?

I've just recently purchased the New FitBit Versa 3 and I love how it tracks your sleep pattern and heart rate through the day and night.
Mine seems to be a resting heart rate of 67- 75 and when I'm up on my feet doing things around the house it's around 85-90 bpm but often goes over 100 when I'm fishing around.
I'm interacted to know what everyone else's are as I have no idea what's normal and I'm just getting to grips with this new health watch 🤣

I've never had one below 55 and I'm slim and active.

Blood pressure is low, nothing to worry about really.

Between 48 and 58 depending on my cycle. It will go down to 40 at night. When I'm around 48/50 for a few days, I do feel lighthesded the next day.

My HR goes up and down a lot. Will be up to 180+ when running (although feel ok), but under 50 just sitting on the sofa.

62-64

Crinkledbeetroot · 10/10/2020 23:04

Normally somewhere between 43-47bpm. I'm not at all fit so not sure why it's so low.

TheSultanofPingu · 10/10/2020 23:14

67-72

FlatScreenTV01 · 10/10/2020 23:17

55 bpm Fitbit charge 4. I am 46 years old.

megletthesecond · 10/10/2020 23:19

55 when awake.
Around 45 when asleep. I think my heart pumps blood when it can be bothered Hmm.

46yrs and in good health. Also a runner, gym person, low blood pressure. It goes up to 160 when I'm doing the last bit of parkrun and drops really fast.

Pikachubaby · 10/10/2020 23:20

Everyone is so low

Mine is 65, and I do sport daily (am 48)

I did not realise that was high!

notapizzaeater · 10/10/2020 23:20

Between 42 and 44 and I'm obese - had it checked at the doctors this year and it's ok.

Derelictwreck · 10/10/2020 23:21

Between 50-60 depending on my cycle.

OP the foot it app tells you how healthy yours is. Go into heart rate then select a day, and swipe left/right. It tells you your heart health

MuckyPlucky · 10/10/2020 23:21

Pre-covid = 43-47.

Now = 51.

I’m age 40, fairly fit & active (swim, cycling, running) slightly overweight.

Toontown · 10/10/2020 23:26

It's not high you just have skewed answers. Only people with unusually low rates are answering. This is a prime example of why anecdotal evidence is so poor!

ChangingStates · 10/10/2020 23:27

I am so reassured by all the low ones. Mine is low to mid 50s at rest, sometimes in bed can be below 50. Am 48 and slim but not at all fit- busy life but no proper exercise- and was worried it was too low!

Premiumbond · 10/10/2020 23:30

65-72.

Kote · 10/10/2020 23:31

Around 65 usually according to my fitbit

bumblenbean · 10/10/2020 23:34

Mines about 70. Would like to get it a bit lower.

Until recently it was often around 90 - 100 and nobody could explain why despite various tests and an ECG. Turns out to have been a medication I’d been on for years - it came right down a month or so after stopping.

coronafiona · 10/10/2020 23:34

About 65 but I am lucky rather than fit!

blobbyface · 10/10/2020 23:37

I'm 48 and today's average resting heart rate is 53.

CarpeVitam · 10/10/2020 23:42

About 65.

FlatScreenTV01 · 10/10/2020 23:46

What is our bpm supposed to be?

zenasfuck · 10/10/2020 23:48

Mines 73. I'm fat and very unfit Grin

nachthexe · 10/10/2020 23:49

58-68 depending on cycle.
I am laughing at everyone in the 40s. That’s technically bradycardia territory 😂
This thread is terrible - for fuck’s sake none read it and assume 40s is normal 😂😂
I mean, technically it IS for an infinitesimally small fraction of the population, but.... 😂😂

Kathy2020 · 10/10/2020 23:53

Mine is 72bpm; starting to slightly worry now as everyone else’s seem to be a lot lowerConfused I am in my 30’s, normal weight

CheshireSplat · 10/10/2020 23:54

nach yes it is technically brachycardia. But that isn't necessarily a problem.

WolffromTheWest · 10/10/2020 23:55

57-59 but goes up to 60/61 around ovulation time. I'm in my forties.
