are you sure about the low resting heart rate? My heart rate went from 80's to 60's since i started riding harder; and when i put in that 66 my "age" went down immediately (from the last time I took the test)
low resting heart rate means you have a stronger heart.

I was 24 and I'm really 28.3.
I already know I'm doomed to live to be 99. All my maternal grandmothers, greatgrandmothers, great-great grandmothers live into their late 90's or early 100's.

My resting heart rate is 46, before I started biking consistantly it was 66. Yes, the test put it on the side of making me older. I took a print screen of it so you could see. Now everyone will know about my bad flossing habits, lol

Resting Heart Rate
What is resting heart rate?
This is a person's heart rate at rest. The best time to find out your resting heart rate is in the morning, after a good night's sleep, and before you get out of bed.
The heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute when we're at rest. Resting heart rate usually rises with age, and it's generally lower in physically fit people. Resting heart rate is used to determine one's training target heart rate. Athletes sometimes measure their resting heart rate as one way to find out if they're overtrained. The heart rate adapts to changes in the body's need for oxygen, such as during exercise or sleep

my age is 25.6 and my real age is 30.2.
think the history of breast cancer and low hr kinda messes me up on this test."Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." – William C. Durant

I haven't gotten my final results, but the more questions I answered the older I got!!
I don't know if I knew the answers to some of my numbers if that would have helped, but if the site was to make us feel better, I feel worse...
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

Well, my birth age is 41yrs, 1 month
They gave me 36.5 as my "real" age.
They said I could lower my age further if I reduced my eating of red meat to once a week (c'mon - I'm a Leo, I'm a carnivore!!!) and if I reduced the quantity and intensity of my exercise (c'mon - I have to increase it if I want to be nationally competitive!!!)
I guess I am at an advantage over some of the women here who cycle, as I have had no serious health issues (the last time I was in hospital was 11 years ago to have my tubes tied), I take no medication/prescription drugs (last time was 4 years ago for a sinus infection, I don't smoke or drink, no history in my family of most of the diseases they list.
Don't take it to heart, Mary - anyone who tells an exercising woman to cut out red meat hasn't got everything 100per! Its interesting, but not a gospel.Last edited by RoadRaven; 09-29-2006 at 12:09 PM.

I'm 40.8, my RealAge is 38. Among other bizarre things that make me older (like controlling my arthritis with diet and exercise intead of medication I don't need), I apparently exercise TOO MUCH!
I'm jealous of all you ladies who are many years "younger" but thankful I didn't get clocked as an old, old lady!
