My heart beats 76 times in a minute whilst I have been at rest for (roughly) 2 minutes.
I am a relatively unathletic guy (at the moment) in his early twenties.
I AM PLANNING ON GETTING FITTER.
So, how many beats per minute does your ticker manage?
– Note: if you are measuring manually (i.e. with your bare hands and no equipment), try counting for the whole minute. It’s just that if you make a mistake whilst counting for 10 seconds and then try and scale that up to a minute, you inflate the mistake by 6 times. –
When I was fit, it was 42. No secret how, I raced bicycles competitively. If you want to improve aerobic fitness, take up an endurance sport like cycling or running, and train about 10 hours a week.
No I believe you. The point is you are clearly wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fitter than me at this time. I really gotta get motivated to exercise again - being healthy feels great.
Just measured it – 63 at the moment, but I’ve been drinking coffee…
Last time I had it measured by a doctor it was 58. When I wake up in the morning it is insanely slow - I have counted it as 40. I think this is why I have trouble waking up!
–I usually walk a couple miles a day–briskly and incorporated into my existing commuting schedule.
–Work out at the gym 2-3 times/week (20-25min/cardio & 20-25 minutes weights)
–Do yoga and/or pilates 2-3 times/week
I try to be active, and actively focussed, for at least an hour a day. Take a day off now and then. I’ve done this for 3-4 years and my life is dramatically better–physically, mentally, and overall quality of life.
The key is commitment. . .to yourself. The payoff is big!!
I think mine was about 59 the last time I measured. I’ve always had a realtively higher heart rate; my max is 211 (at age 37). So 59 is really fit for me…
54, just measured with two fingers to the neck and my watch, over a minute. I notice that it seems to go faster at the beginning of the test - I had counted thirty before 30 seconds hit, but only ended up with 54. Anyone know what’s up with this?
That wasn’t a resting rate. Get your resting heart rate first thing in the morning, before you sit up in bed. That’s the most accurate resting heart rate.
Usually about 50. I have seen it down in the mid 40’s before. I think I can thank a lot of high-altitude hiking on steep inclines for this. Just a year and a half ago it was in the upper 70’s.
