What is your resting heart rate?

Mine is 46bpm.

If you don't have an electronic means to check it just set a timer for one minute and put 2 fingers on your wrist.

[quote=ox0Shad0w0xo]@fradddd But a low resting heart rate usually means your heart is stronger, not weaker. The average for adults is 60-100, but conditioned athletes tend to have resting heart rates in the 40-60 range. The heart uses less pumps to circulate the same amount of blood. It's being more efficient. If you're an adult and it's lower than 40, [i]then[/i] it's probably a cause for concern. And minors tend to have lower heart rates then adults, so OP is either really in shape or still in high school (or even middle school, I won't judge).[/quote]

Yeah i'm a senior in highschool, and I've also been doing heavy cardio training for almost 2 years now for sports so that attributes to my lower than average resting hr.

Got bored half-way through, so I'm multiplying by 2. I got 84-ish. It varies, depending on how hard I try to calm myself.

OP is probably dieded...

Mine is 55-60 bpm. Which is already abnormally low.

EDIT: okay a lot of you seem to have heart rates as low as me but whenever I tell people my heart rate they freak out.
