What is Your Resting Heart Rate?

Mine at the Dr’s office was 88, and in school a few years ago was in the 90’s. Wore a heart rate monitor when working out with my trainer because I passed out on him once. Turns out my heart rate hits 200 with moderate continuous exercise. Now I have a cardiologist appointment. o.O I thought I was just overweight/puny all my life, but apparently there be some odd stuff going on.

60

mine ranges 42-50… but never under 70 at the doc’s office…

Average is 56

Mine is usually 80-85. Always has been. Working out hasn’t helped. I was told as a kid that my asthma/medication will make it high. If I do AAS or stimulants it goes to mid-high 90s. Sedatives like benzos, kava, dyphenhydramine usually take it down into the mid 70s. The funny thing is when I lift hard or do cardio it only goes up to slightly above 100. I really have to put in the work to get it to my “target range”.

waking 60s
resting 80s
light cardio 175-180
I’ve hit with only moderate cardio 227
HIIT I’d rather not know

my friend had an evaluation done at a YMCA nearby, and the RHR they took was 108 so the trainer told him that that was horrible and he should get it checked out etc… the trainer never stopped to think that the fact my friend walked up the 4 stories to the evaluation room cause the elevator was broken had anything to do with this high ‘R’ HR

mine was 48 this morning when i woke up.

I haven’t done this in a while, but I had been doing it upon waking for a while. It was just about always below 60 and above 55. It’s a little above 60 right now.

Somewhere in the 50’s on waking.

At any point resting during the day I expect it to be about the same, maybe a bit higher. If I find it in the 70’s or 80’s at rest during the day, or up around 60 on waking, this is often a clue to me that my something stressful is going on in my system.

I probably wouldn’t take any time off training, but I might rearrange my day to make it more restful, or make a point of getting a good amount of sleep, or change my workout’s intensity/duration… Anyway, that’s more than you asked for.

Last year, totally sedentary, I would guess it was in the 70’s. Going to the gym and hopping on any cardio equipment for the first times, I could get the heart rate over 160 EASY (I’m 34 btw, so the bpm is starting on the downward slope).

Now my waking heart rate is usually in the 50s.
One time while donating blood, I think the needle made me me nervous, and it dropped into the 40s.
And it takes pretty hard work on the cardio to get the rate up to to 150 or so (but I don’t really push the cardio too much).

what are you using to measure your HR while exercising? something sounds off

A VO2 of 85.5… You would want to have been a super athlete. That isnt just very good, it’s ‘elite’ level. I think Lance Armstrong’s is 85. In saying that though, anyone who has is up with their human physiology knows the anaerobic threshold is more important then lung capacity.

Still, a fkn awesome effort if that what you got!
