Resting heart rate

[Harry Goldfarb*]

With many Loungers emerging as elite athletes and health experts of late, I thought it would be a great exercise for us to measure and post our resting heart rate.

How to measure it? Set a timer for 10 seconds or watch the second hand on a clock. Count your heartbeats over that ten seconds. Now multiply it by six. That will give you your heart rate.

I just measured mine to be 66.

What is yours?

You're doing the "discuss" thing again?

You really should count it out longer than a measly 10 seconds, you clown.

 

[Whiplash27]

I haven't tested mine in a while, but I used to get in the upper 50s to low 60s depending on how decent shape I'm in.

Unless you have some sort of cardiac arrhythmia, counting for 10 seconds and multiplying by 6 is completely fine for these situations

Mine is usually 60-66

Just did mine. 84 bpm.

I've just always done 30, and suggested such for any client to be safe.


Just took mine, 56.

Well its always going to be an estimation with +/- x amount of beats based on numerous factors. As long as your clients are not exceeding their max heart rate (estimation based on 220 - age# of individual) everything should be fine.

ahah you do not beat me i'm still on top

I use the Karvonen Formula with them.

My heart never rests, it will always go on

 

[irunthepeg]

140bpm like my choons

That is what the Karvonen Formula considers, the only difference is that you change it with intensity (which is a very subjective number)

 

[Hansen]

99bpm

 

[Bones Malone]

99bpm

take one down, pass it around...

 

[LarryFisherman]

between 60-70 depending how much i'm fidgeting or how angry I am with my superiors

 

[Hansen]

I get anxious whenever my heart rate is measured and it skyrockets to 180

 

[Summer Rose]

56-60

You will easily miss 1-2 beats measuring with your hand. Multiply that with 6 and the margin of error becomes quite significant.

For some reason both my maximum and resting heart rate is quite low. 44 bpm.
