What's your resting heart rate?

44. But climbs frighteningly high very quickly and stays that way when I exercise.

Liza;

Kelowna girl is correct. As you exercise, the heart becomes more muscular and efficient, therefore it doesn't have to work as hard, thus your RHR. My RHR is 50 (I'm 48) When I exercise, I also can get it very high, quickly - my du last year, during my run - I was 196. But it plummets quickly when the intensity drops.

My FD made me go for ECG, heart is fine, so I don't worry about high HR.

That makes me feel so much better!! I check my HR periodically when I'm on the treadmill and it's always around 180, which is off the little chart that's on the treadmill.

During a walk interval, though, my HR drops from 180 to 160 within 60 seconds, sometimes as low as 155.


I'll have to try to remember to check my RHR tomorrow morning.
