How fit are you? - resting heart beat

[rootsnall]

I think recovery is in fact a better measure of fitness than absolute resting heart rate.

This was the measure when I played sport. I think blood pressure is also a better indicator.

resting is 52-58 depending on how rested.....peak is 195 but I can only keep that peak going for 2-3 minutes, dropping back down quickly.

But then I go to the gym most days, and have been checking my HRT each day.

Does it help with the hot flushes?

What's your resting heart beat?
Mine's around 65 odd.
Not bad considering I'm not too well at the moment and haven't done any excersise for weeks because of injuries.

49, but has been recorded at 42!
