Thread: Heart rate...

Basically, I think my heart stopped the other day so today when I was checking that it had started beating again I decided to see how many beats per minute I get.

I came in at about 82 beats per minute. Although a few of those might have been the footsteps of my fat colleague who sits behind me.

Give it a go and see how many beats yours does. I'd be interested to know.

76 right now, sat here at my table.

75.

I got a proper monitor thingy at home.
I'll see what that says.

By the way, where are you lot measuring it? Neck, chest or wrist?

Neck, I only did it once though so it's not very scientific.

Ad's, if you've got concerns about your ticker ASN probably isn't the best place to seek help.

Have you tried the British Heart Foundations forum....?

Thanks for your concern but I don't have concerns. My heart didn't really stop (I hope!), just a palpitation for a couple of seconds.

Was bored at work (as usual) and had run out of websites to look at so I timed my heart beat
Just wanted to see how it compared to others.

56 here when resting, there's a good app on itunes for your iphone that lets you check your heart rate using the camera and LED flash !!!

when doing day to day activity, mine sits at around 70, not bad for a fat lump !

68 at the moment. I have a blood pressure monitor that also registers heart rate.

If I had to guess before doing it this is what I would've thought mine was. 82 sounds very fast now.

it may seem like it, but i have always had a good strong heart, when i was younger my resting heart rate used to be 48 !!!!! i did used to go to the gym 3 hours (actually train for 3 hours) a day mon-thu though


remember i did say resting though, as in laying down !!! sitting at my desk now, it's at around 65

According to my iPhone Heart Rate app.

It sure is pat, i went to movies to see it, but it was too noisy, so i am enjoying it now. Its nearly finished.

If it's like those movies you were watching last week Sandra your heart should be racing...!

68 at rest. 210 whilst heading for the fridge

after rushing around the house this morning mine is at 57 but don't know what that would be when I've been 'resting' a little bit cos I never stop. I like to think I'm very fit and active, train at the gym 5 times a week and play football once/twice a week too.
