Exactly 60. Comes in really handy if I forget my watch.

Dont use it as an exercise watch though.

Just checked mine...48-50

HTH

[Halo Jones]

60 which is not bad when you consider I smoke, do minimal exercise & am generally unfit

[Doggy Styles]

Mine used to be in the 30s/40s, and depthed out at 28.

That's what running and sport does.

14 on one side, 13 on the other.

Should I be worried?

Nope, that's perfectly unnatural.

Should I be worried?

No, it's quite normal for your species.

[Churchill]

Very good, anything below 60 is considered athletic, wonder if it possible to get it down to 10 or 5 or 1 even. or 0

Yes if you're a blue whale.

Next question?

[Mich the Tester]

47

When I used to cycle a lot mine was about 40-45. I don't know what it is now.

When I was in hospital after my heart attack I found that relaxing would easily drop my heart rate below 50, which is technically bradycardia and would set off an alarm on the heart monitor (that bleepy thing with the graphs).

When I was on the Coronary Care Unit this didn't really matter as they ignored it - they were keeping a close enough eye on us that they would be aware of a problem, alarm or no alarm, and a slow heart rate isn't uncommon in a ward full of people in the throes of serious cardiac problems.

When I was moved downstairs to a general cardiac ward on the second night, I found that somebody would come from the nurses' station up the corridor to check on me each time it went off.

By this time, I'd also taught myself the biofeedback technique: I could look at the monitor and deliberately slow my heart down until it triggered the bradycardia alarm. As there was no other form of entertainment to hand, I occupied the time that evening by summoning a nurse every fifteen minutes or so by the power of thought alone

When I woke up in the morning I tried it again, but they'd disabled the bradycardia alarm on my heart monitor while I was asleep

Is 650 a lot?

Not really.

That assumes you're a hyperactive hamster on meth though.

The bottle of wine ibhad first has taken the edge off.

But now off to bed.

Well done, for being able to maintain your typing, if I had consumed a bottle I would be in hospital.

130.

I've just had a bottle of whisky though.

That would give me a resting heart rate of 0.
