Poll: What's your resting pulse rate?

[Martin]

I was out buying stuff tonight, and saw the blood pressure machine and decided to give it a go.

I was really surprised to see my heart rate at 45bpm - I suppose all that excercise is paying off (I measured twice, just to be sure, and both times it was 45).

Not all good news. My blood pressure seems to be on the high side (130/80). Need more excercise, can't wait til spring

How long of intervals are you counting for? You are either a biological freak, or you are training for some major indurance events (half marathons, marathons, long distance biking, ect). Or some combination there of.

Getting HR's in the mid 40's is a *very* difficult task.

The lowest I ever got mine down to was 48, and this was when I was running 20k races and running over 100 miles a week.

I don't know my true resting HR, as I'm never fully conscious enough to check it in the morning, but after sitting still for a minute or so I can get mine down to mid 50s. I'm running 50-60 miles per week right now.

I used the machine at the local drug store. Counting 10s, I get about 8 beats, and 30s I get 22-23 beats.

I haven't done so for about 2 weeks, but normally I do 1hr on a elliptical trainer, with the highest setting and 5-6 days a week.

Roughly around 70-75.

Not surprising as I actively lift...

 

[BlueWeasel]

Mine is around 65-70 bpm.

 

[IGBT]

..between 45 and 50..usually around 50 when I get off work.

 

[Slimline]

Im usually around 55 relaxed.

they work the oppose way, the less your resting pulse rate is, the better shape you are.

 

[eplebnista]

60-69

 

[amol]

42!

 

[Baked]

Depends on how I manipulate my breathing.

 

[bandana163]

56.
I'm not a sportsman and I'm not in shape.

 

[Goosemaster]

I have developed beyond pulses....

50-59

 

[Darien]

high 50s/low 60s

i voted 60 - 69

 

[Amaroque]

Low to mid 60's

 

[Landroval]

My HR is usually about 60, but my BP is often as low as 90/40. I think it is common for women to have a higher resting HR than men but not really sure if it is because of lower average body mass or some other factor(s).

 

68. However, I am outta shape. Lowest Ive gotten was 55 in HS. I am working out, so by semester end, it should be 5-10 lower than what it is easily.

Your BP is REALLY low. Have you seen a doctor about that?

It's all about the boobies.

[edit]
(Being around them / attached to them tends to make pulse rise, that's my theory anyway, I'm willing to do a study if needed).


/Oh, I am at 55bpm because that's what I measured at the BP machine Tue. Haven't done the morning wake-up one lately, usually it's about 5-10 lower, IIRc.

 

[Megatomic]

Usually in the low 50s but at my peak it was about 48. I'm getting old.

 

[Mr N8]

~55 bpm. It was over 60 until I started excersizing again.

 

[Fausto]

I have no idea what my actual resting rate is since I never remember to check it when I first wake up. Right now, I'm in the high 50's sitting at my desk.

BTW- you're all flabby wimps until you can do this.

If thats you, i bow down before your might. THAT is a SOLID workout.

 

[Megatomic]

I keep mine above 160 for 30mins. twice a day on my exercise bike. That ain't too bad for an old man.
