Anyone else here have a ultra low resting pulse rate?

[dave12]

Mine gets as low as 36 beats per minute, usually at night. Rest of the time it ranges from 36-45.

I once had an irregular heart beat after exercise and was taken to A & E.

Machine they hooked me up to constantly beeped, as my pulse rate was too low for it. In the end when the nurses knew it wasn't anything to worry about they removed me from the machine.

While I consider myself as fit, wouldn't say I'm ultra fit! so its always been a little of a mystery to me.

have measured mine while im sitting down a few times in the past. ranges from 40-45 bpm

I think I read somewhere that Mike Zero has some kind of ridiculously low resting HR.

It's not uncommon in distance athletes but imagine my disgust when I read one of the strongest dudes on here was fit too!!!

LOL, Harry, you give me far too much credit!

Mine is about 45bpm. Although I didn't feel that fit earlier today! Went out to the track and did some sprints (hardly) 30s on/30s off for 10 sets. Kicked my arse.

[Pseudonym]

Mine's 70bpm sitting here now. Although it always seems to speed up as soon as I start counting... :?

My Doc says it is nothing at all to worry about, he puts it down to my fitness........I hope he is right!!

What position were you in when you took your pulse? Sorry couldn't resist.

How is everyone taking their pulse? 10 seconds, then times by 6, or count for the whole minute?

[hhhh1]

i normally do 20 sec then multiply by 3 or full minute if i can be fucked. 10 sec is too short, could easily have a +/- 12 bpm error

[Mike Zero]

You should be measuring it when you rest and relaxed anyway, if you're too busy to spend 30-60s measuring it then you ain't in the right starte to get a true RHR.

[legacy]

I do 30 secs and double it and make sure I've been sitting still for 10 mins at least first.

apparently to get your true legit resting heart rate you should take it in the morning before breakfast.

makes sense?
