View Full Version : Resting heart rate ?
What is a good rhr ?
Mine is 60ish any good ?
:stupid:
Yes. Very good considering you are ancient. 60-80 is considered normal, healthy. Those with decent cardio can get well below 60. Mine is also 60, which I think is quite good for a fat knacker.
Right then got tget it right down :011:
50 a.s.a.p
Some lad in the tour de france was 36 i seem to remember.
I measured mine at 42 once. This is because I was 110lbs and ate 3 calories a day though, not because I was fit.

Sub 60 is considered to be very fit (as long as you don't weigh 50kg and eat 3 cals a day).
Sub 50 is ridiculous.
Sub 40 is more or less un heard of in healthy adults (Lance Armstrong was the 36bpm guy if I remember correctly, insane).
Interesting fact though, a cyclists heart gets bigger than other athletes hearts due to the position of their body whilst riding, Lance has a heart over the twice the size of a normal man.
Factoid Boom.
36..... That is sick man!
Mine is 61bhp I mean bpm. Not bad considering i'm not lean or do any cardio. Not as impressive as Timmy though!
A rough count just now gave me a touch over 70.
54 on this wide set dwarf
Fat unhealthy shit.Disgraceful isn't it. It might have been skewed a bit by my trying to take my pulse in my neck as I couldn't find anything in my wrist.

Miguel indurain was famous for having a stupidly low heart rate he was tested at 28BPM http://www.fitness-sergeant.com/heart.htm

All of these figures are toal bullshit. You ****s are not below 60, no ****ing chance.
A mixture of retardation (my word of the day) and shitty HR calcs are leading to some ****ed up results here.
That is all.
P.s. Timmy, your HR is like 147.
I absolutely promise you. I've double and triple checked it against a stopwatch several times over the last few days. It's always around 50bpm if I'm just sat around.

Mine was the average of 5 attempts, all timed for exactly 1 minute.

Am using a free app for this and despite it feeling like my chest is trying to smash out of my chest, it seems consistent at 61.
I have an app on my phone that works perfectly. I have tested it against a watch countless times.

I thought I would check this just now seeing as I do a fair bit of cycling. I have a garmin with heart rate monitor strap gps and have cycled over 4000 miles this year as a mix of on and off road. When I was weight training my resting heart rate was about 58. I have a cold at the moment which may be elevating things a little I don't know but I got a resting heart rate of between 55 & 51 with a couple of spikes where I moved or stretched my leg doms out a bit. That was from walking straight up stairs (the 1st spike) to relaxing on the bed for about 4 mins. I dont how long you are meant to rest for before you measure it but that was my result. The last spike is me getting up off the bed and getting a drink. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/134375226 I think I max out at about 188bpm these days. It's been a while since I could hit 190s
