Any fitness experts in the house? I'm 31 and for the first time in my life I have been doing regular exercise! 17st in the new year and now 15st mainly through dieting.. I'm now doing a mix of cardio and weights 6 times a week.. Weights started 2 weeks ago and cardio 6 weeks ago. Cardio I do 45 mins to 60 mins and I have a chest hr monitor and I keep it around 160 for the hour...
So before I did this my resting hr seemed to be in the mid 80s.. I noticed last week it was 75ish and today it is 67. Should I be thinking great my hearts getting healthier or that's too much of a drop go see a doc?
Stop worrying about your heart rate at resting. If it was like 200 when exercising I would worry but generally a low resting heart rate is a sign of relatively fit person.
i used to check my heart rate first thing in the morning lying in bed, then check it every couple of weeks. Mine used to be 40-44bpm but i was doing a ton of crossfit, haven't checked it in about 18mnths now though
I'm glad its gone down just seems to much of a jump as I would still class myself as very unfit! So I don't understand why it would drop so much in a short space if time..
