well recently i measured my heart rate, i am a 14 year old male, turing 15 next week. i play hockey and football. I measured my heart rate twice while resting at diffrent times. by resting i mean calm and sitting. my heart rate was between 65-75 bpm what should it be? and if it isnt good enough what should my goal be and how can i better it
I'm not sure what it is suppost to be but I just thought i'd tell you.. my gym teacher is a fitness person and she says if your resting heart rate is low thats awesome. She told us Lance Armstrong's was like 50 something, but it means that your so inshape that your body doesn't need to try as much to circulate your blood around. My resting heart rate was like 68 and she said that was really good. And for gym we had to keep our heart rates over 140 and she told me how it'll be super hard for me or anyone in shape because I have a lower heart rate so I'd have to work twice as hard. Hope this helped.
And if you want your true resting heart rate take it right after you wake up because when you lay down your body is completely resting as to sitting up (blood has to be vertically instead of when your laying down)
(Rating: 5) thanks for the tip on taking the bpm and for confirming what i already know
