Resting heart rate

[street]

Just so you know, that wasn't your resting heart rate. Very good for a non-resting heart rate after exercise. Can you take your pulse first thing when you wake up in the morning before you get out of bed?

Thanks audreyh1:. I went off topic I shouldn't have done that. Yes, been taking pressure measurements after physical events and morning when I first wake up. My rate doesn't seem to fluctuate much what I do.

What are your two trackers?

One is a Fitbit Charge 5.
One is a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7.
I wear both to bed every night. I also wear the Galaxy watch during the day most of the time.
Fitbit recently transitioned to Google Health app, which gives less accurate results than the Fitbit app gave. How do you treat your insomnia?

Below 40 not unusual with younger athletes.

Happened with my kids who got alarms on their Apple watches.

I bet my current resting heart rate is around double their individual.

My resting heart rate runs about 64, but that is somewhat increased by medication. It used to be 59-60.

 

[EastWest Gal]

55-60. Or so my Apple watch says.

Mine (according to garmin) is 59. I've seen it lower than that, but that's what it says now. 3 hours of pickleball this morning- I got it all the way up to 178. It was HOT!

I turn 75 next month. For six years, I've been on a low dose of a beta blocker for PVC's. When I awaken in the morning, my resting heart rate is low 50's. It drops into the high 40's while sleeping. During our daily five mile walk which includes some short hills at an average elevation of 4200', my HR maxes out around 135-140. Two years ago, I climbed Piestewa Peak in Phoenix and maxed my HR at 161. Two months later, I did the first two miles of the Kalalau Trail in Kauai and maxed out my heart rate at 156. When the weather cools, I will do Piestewa Peak again. When I was in my 40's-50's that climb would have my HR maxing out at 190 as measured by a chest monitor.

IIRC those heart rates under exertion are excessive at your age.

Again, IIRC, "max heart rate" is 220 - age. THEN you apply a factor of something like 0.7. Don't quote me on this but check with your physician regarding what sort of heart rate you should try to stay under during exercise.

Good for you for exercising!!

56 just now after a good night's sleep but I'm in a different time zone now so maybe some jet lag. I've been running for about a year and train 5 days a week.

 

[jim584672]

61 for me. I walk a lot.

 

[Allytx]

Mine is 60-62. I’ve done lots of walking in my lifetime, but I can’t walk for exercise right now, because I tore my meniscus.

 

[PatrickA5]

According to my watch, my 6 month average rate is 55. Nobody would call me an athlete LOL. At least not now (age 67).

67yo with a 1 yr average resting heart rate of 47 according to my Garmin Venu 3.

Not to derail this thread but what is everyone using to measure their "health" numbers? What's the best personal device in other words?

I capture the data on my Apple Watch using the health app and also Strava. Used to use a Fitbit, but found it lacked so much. I think they have improved them though.

My el-cheapo blood pressure monitor records heart rate. So does our CardiaMobile device.

Apple Watch.

 

[Fahshah]

I had a Fitbit, then upgraded to a Galaxy. For the past year I’ve been using a Garmin Venu 3.

Garmin on the wrist, Oura Ring on the finger.

My Garmin watch displays weekly HR like this
