Heart rate
-
Almost fell of my bike the other day as I was getting ready for a 40 minute spin after work. Strapped on my heart rate monitor, (first time I have bothered for months), and my heart rate was at 42. <br />
<br />
That is probably the lowest it has been for years, and I am doing sweet FA aerobic exercise - 4 x 40 minute cycles a week, and maybe sometimes if Mrs bartman can force me, a couple of hour long walks!<br />
<br />
so get out the stop watches gentlemen - what are your rates...?<br />
<br />
at the desk right now at work I am running at 44 BPM. -

Great effort Bart. My pulse rate is 61. Was pretty much going neck and neck with the stopwatch on my phone. -

err yeah... I've been donig loads of cycling recently (50ks in one stint the other day), not measured my resting heart rate in ages. It just came in at 48. Pretty happy with that!!<br />
<br />
(Doesn't explain though why I am still completely fooked after walking up a flight of stairs) -
Bart and MajorRage you're both in the "athlete" category. Top stuff ! xzxgood <br />
<br />

mine varies between 45-60, higher the day after hard exercise. I do 1-2 hours of hill intervals twice a week, and a swim......wish I exercised more. BP about 95/50<br />

Bart-do you think your extremely low fat % causes this low HB? I know you're already fit due to the rowing. Well done xzxgood -
50bpm - have just knocked off a 500ml can of V too!! have been running regularly for the last several months so quite happy to see my resting heart rate is lowish. Have def noticed that recovery post run is waaay quicker in the last month or two, always a good sign of increasing fitness

I took mine after a fathers day feed over the weekend while lying on the sand at Eastbourne and the bugger had snuck up to 78 !!!! sheesh thats got to be a concern. Hard work digesting my bread rolls and pastrami ( and a couple of beers eusa_whistle ) perhaps ? -
MN5 maybe you're part lizard and the heart rate was up to distribute that sunshine faster!! then again if you're a father then kids are likely to add a few extras to your bpm... in fact you probably don't even have a 'resting' rate anymore!

Perhaps I was on edge that he was gonna pinch my food, that may have been it ! lucky for me he was more interested in eating the stones and bits of wood near us.... -

Back to a much more normal 63bpm just now so that is a relief. Weird how different factors affect it so much.
