I learned a little bit about heart rate in my class the other day. The average Resting Heart Rate (RHR) for women is between 60-100 beats per minute. For well trained athletes it can range from 40-60 beats per minute. I tested my RHR and it ended up being between 56-58. It's the little things that make me love fitness. If anyone has questions about Target Heart Rate training, or how to calculate your Target Heart Rate Zone, I'd be MORE than happy to help!
Do you test your RHR by yourself? Or do you use some kind of technology? I tested mine a few days ago on myself and I got 62. I don't do cardio or anything so I even thought that was a little low. I figured I would be around 70 or so.
ReplyDeleteHey Tennille! Do you know the average resting heart rate for men? We tested our resting heart rate in Anatomy & Physiology the other day, and mine was at 61. I'm a relatively healthy guy, this past summer and semester has caused me a lot of stress, and less time to exercise so I haven't been as healthy as I was in the past, but I still make time to go on run's because that's what I love to do. I would like to know where my heart rate is at in comparison to the average male. Thanks for posting, and keep up the good work! We should go for a run together sometime!
ReplyDeleteHey Matt thanks for the comment! Resting heart rate for men is actually the same for women. Making time for your health is very important and the fact that you make time to run is great! I would love to go for a run sometime! running is one of my favorite aerobic activities.
DeleteP.s. your resting heart rate is indeed, on fleek.
ReplyDeleteI love the new fitness trend of wearable technology like fitbits! This is a trend that has been introduced to me just this semester. Ever since I've been in the PAFM track I have become more and more interested in the aspect of fitness. I think it is mind blowing that the fitbits are capable of so much and can really take your fitness to a whole new level if you utilize it.
