    Default What's your resting heart rate?

    It's the weekend, so my mind wanders.

    What's your resting heart rate?
    If you have a Fitbit or other fitness tracker, that's one way to measure. Despite thier innacuracy for exercise heart rate tracking, I think over the long term, the resting heart rate is probably pretty close.

    I'm around 62 recently. It's been higher, it's been lower.

    43. Pretty consistent through the last 2 years. Resting HR is usually pretty accurate on these wrist based as it’s not an instaneous read. I can tell when I’m getting or am sick by watching it

    When was this measurement taken? While you're sleeping or is this just you sitting on the couch trying to get HR as low as possible?

    It’s my all day resting from Garmin. From their site:

    “ RHR: This value is for the current day. It is calculated one of two ways. For users that wear their watch while sleeping, the watch will read and record the average of all readings while they sleep, excluding periods where any steps were detected or the measured heart rate falls outside reasonable bounds. A minimum of four hours of sleep time is required to register a reading. For users that do not wear their watch overnight, RHR will be far less accurate and a rough estimate will be determined based on the lowest average reading over a one minute time period during the day. “

    I wear mine all night. Niels you gotta be in the 30s?

    I doubt mine is that low, but I've never checked. Maybe I'll test today, though.

    I don't know how Fitbit chooses the number. Mine reads as 63 for last night, and it's obvious I was below that for much of the night.
    Also, I'm not anywhere hear the cardio fitness of you dudes.

    Funny looking at this now a bit deeper. The days I was drinking a lot and eating a pile over Christmas I was usually 10-12 BPM over my average.

    Oh yes, your body works a lot harder processing toxins. After a big night of drinking my heart rate will be elevated for at least two nights, sometimes three.

    Apparently booze is unhealthy?

    Sleeping is 41ish.... When sitting or resting during the day it fluctuates around 46 to 52 depending on stress levels.

    History, for 2 years, 2 years ago I was running 13km a day, cycling 75km+ every other day, and once a week running 22km. Then stopped for a year and started doing weights cuz I was too skinny. Weights for 1.5 years now.

    Just saw my yearly average. Didn’t even know that function existed.

    57 average from the last 12 months. I don’t wear it to bed.

    Interesting as it was higher in the summer when I was experiencing more stress.

    I’ve also dropped 8-10lbs since then and feel better. It’s a neat little tool

    According to my watch I'm at 61bpm resting heart rate average over the past year. I have another app that I use for sleep tracking, and on the nights I drink it's consistently 8-10bpm higher. That's actually the single biggest thing I've got out of the heart rate stuff, is how hard alcohol really is on your body.

    If you don’t wear it to bed, you won’t get the same accuracy of true ‘rest’

    @danno as an aside, how do you "stay on top of that" exactly? Does blood pressure have any meaningful impact on THAT, or is that just a general health concern?
