I'm 70 years old. My heart rate is 42 to 48 BPM. Moderate exercise every day walking the dog (uphill).
So, if I get my heart rate down to zero...I could live forever LOL.
Seriously though, YES...regular exercise will at least strengthen your heart.
Thanks for the video.
Same as me.
Someday your heart rate will go to zero and you probably will live forever- just not here.
Absolutely loved this. Answered so many questions and put me at rest about my heart rate. Thank you Brandon!
My HR is between 38 and 44 since more than 25 years and I'm 49. I've a long history of cycling, running, swimming, CrossFit, cross skiing and snowshoeing.
I started doing yoga last year and I started measuring my RHR at that time too. I managed to record between 51 and 56, but then I had a couple of injuries, particularly when my knee became badly swollen, my RHR went up to nearly 80. I am glad to say it is back below 60 again. I find the subject of RHR quite interesting as a measure of health. Nice video!
Thx for a fun discussion of a topic many of us are becoming more aware because Apple Watch, etc. My spouse became concerned about the 20+ low heart rate alarms (
This is reassuring. I’m 58 years of age. My Heart rate is in the 50s. I was concerned and when trying to find ways to increase it I only found ways to lower a fast heart rate. From what I hear you say and see in the comments, I shouldn’t worry. I still want to find out more and I do get my yearly heart check next week and will be asking questions.
They actually call this bradycardia. It scares some people into thinking there is something wrong with them when it's actually quite the opposite. However, I know certain heart issues can cause a slower heart rate too. I would say that if you are a sedentary person and your resting heart rate noticeably slows down for seemingly no reason, you should get it checked out. Otherwise, enjoy a longer life!
they probably want to scare people because they wont make any money if everyone has a healthy heart.
I’m 57 with a 49 BPM, Cycling workouts 6 times a week with varying intensity works for mme and my VO 2 is 48. Keep on rocking kids.
Glad infound this. I walk every day and hit 100 push ups several times per week along with other BW exercises since December. My heart rate has gone way down also aling with my blood pressure. I was worried something might be wrong. Feeling pretty decent !
Well... I'm 73, a pretty active cyclist (former bike racer, etc). I was feeling fine until last year when I had a heart block/stroke walking down the street. Fortunately, it was fairly minor and I recovered well, but it was determined that I had afib (atrial fibrillation), an arrhythmia which is not as uncommon as you might think. Because my heart was slow, it allowed a clot(s) to form in the presence of the afib. I had a pacemaker inserted (which only keeps me above 60) - can be reprogrammed. Had two ablations, first to lose the afib and second to lose the atrial flutter. Hopefully I can get off the blood thinners. Oddly, my only symptom was a few months before, my optimum heart rate while biking had dropped (like from 150 to 135) and during annual checkups pulse was in the high 40's low 50's. Just saying that a low heart rate may not ALWAYS be a good thing.
Brandon, I came to your channel by searching VDot workouts because I just signed up for VDotO2's Adaptive Training Program ($13/month, the app/browser makes the programs for me based on the charts on Daniel's book). I've been running aimlessly for 16 months, so I needed structure. Please keep updating your running journey using this program, including your 5K time trials. I watched RUclipsr Christopher Hu's videos on his use of this same program you are, and those are wonderful videos (search them by his name, he shows all 10 weeks exactly ow he did the program) EXCEPT he did a half marathon Time Trial to start, and ten weeks later he did no repeat time trial! Ugh! No clue how much he gained. I also own and love Concept 2! Keep posting! Thanks.
Thanks for checking it out! I'll be sure to post an update soon. I do provide more frequent race and training updates on my weekly newsletter if you're interested in that. But yea, I'm just finishing phase 4 of the red plan this week and I have a race this Saturday. I'll post soon!
@@myHealthSciences Thank you. I’ll sub your newsletter. ✌🏻Are you on Strava, May viewers follow your weekly program there?
@@Burps___ I've not used Strava, but I should check it out. Do you like it?
@@myHealthSciences I really do! I subscribe $60 a year but many avid runners use the free version. Secret is to Follow people so they follow you back, don’t be bashful to Follow the great athletes (and pretty gals lolol). I’m Steve Wayne from Champaign on there (yellow avatar). RUclipsrs like Suzie (I Run Things) have so many followers on there. Kofuzi has 15k or so, and Sage Canaday from VO2MaxProductions has 50K! So it’ll promote your great channel. It’s fun! And syncs seamlessly to all smartwatches and our Concept 2 ErgData app…even puts in a little “photo” of our PM5 finish screen like magic, try it! PS Make a video of your Strava learning curve and journey (like “Strava after three months”).
Zone 2 cardio is best for lowering your resting HR. This is because your heart is pumping hardest and at it's most efficient and for longer periods of time. It is also good for anxiety and helps you sleep, thus lowering your HR further.
I'm 50 and my resting heart rate is now 47. I do HIIT and 45 minute interval bike rides 3 to 4 times a week and kickboxing/strength training the other days. My sleeping heart drops drops into the upper 30s which freaked me out but after doing more research I'm finding that I'm just fit! Which is great news!
Since I started doing breathing exercises 3X a day, my resting pulse is in the 40's and 50's, and for the first time it went down to 40 beats per minute yesterday.
Awesome! I've been doing breathing exercises before each of my runs for the past ~7 months
Thanks for the informative video! I only do 20m strength or aerobics exercise. Rest heart rate is at 60…. Long way to go. I will increase the time of exercise and see
Yea, continue progressing! The results are rewarding
I do about 30-40 min of moderate weights followed by 45min-1hr of walking or jogging. My rhr tends to be in the low/mid 50s
I’m 60. I work as a groundsman and am constantly active. I do yoga every other day. Mines been 45 for decades.
mine dropped down to 36 one day, tests didn't show anything wrong with my heart, my resting is mid 40s. I'm 69 and don't exercise other than taking care of my animals on my hobby farm.
Heart rate 44-55 .. 265 work out cardio everyday. Have lost 34 pounds in 7 weeks.
I am 37 to 39 resting bpm, hard long distance bike racing as a teenager(32 resting bpm then) but reduced to 10k runs recreational now at 42yrs old. When I run I don’t go above 163bpm, vo2max 51 and trending up😊
Mine drops as low as 41 when awaje, and 30 when sleeping. It is lower in the summer, and gets lower when I train harder. I'm 49 years old
51 and an average of 41bpm for the last week, I think its a combination of keeping reasonably fit and lucky genetics. I've had to turn the warning off that tells me my heart beat is below 40 because it goes off too often!
As an active 73 year old who walks between 10-15k steps a day. Gym about
6 days a week (weights days and aerobic days) my resting heartbeat
has been between 48-55 bpm. 49 as I write this. Carnivore diet + ADF fasting protocol.
I'm in marathon training right now and my beats dropped to 37 last night, lowest its ever been.
this is probably why you are so good in running.
My Apple Watch measured my heart rate through my sleep last night and got down to 36 beats for 10 minutes and sent a warning alert saying too low. Is this a problem ? I’m fairly active and do a lot of weight training
I'm 56 and have been cycling (19-21mph average) 120-180 miles/week, My resting HB varies from high 40's to low 50's.
I am 73 years old and my heart rate in resting position is 55 bpm. I have no any other serious issue but, I am feeling weakness and unbalancing while walking. I also exhaust and tire after a short walk. What should I do ? Somebody suggest.
I don't do exercise. Still, my resting heart rate is below 45. I eat less (2 meals per day), and more importantly, I don't take sugar directly or non-directly.
My heart rate is 55 right now, I have seen it go down to 45. I will be 68 next month.
Sounds like a healthy strong heart! Do you exercise often?
@@adriel1478 I guess I do, gardening is certainly healthy and walking.
Do you know there is a seasonality to HR too? It's *generally* lower in the summer
Because your heart has to work to warm your body up. Not convinced there would be an issue of resting HR not inside anyway, but at 33C (In India) my HR was a lot lower at 20 MPH on the bike. This before was dehydrated as early on in the ride (say 1 hour). I tended to do the first hour at this speed and then take it easy.
On my recent pacing check they told me HR was 171 av for what was a couple of runs in Jan(3C). Those were at a lower speed as my recent runs (15-20C) and yet haven't beaten 165. And yes my Garmin was spot on according to the pacing check. I can't say the same for Fitbit, a bit lower.
A year or so back, when I had pacemaker settings on, I was getting to over 190 on the fitbit (no Garmin) and pacing check said I was 185. And my age at the time, 65. This on a cold day, didn't generally happen on a warm day. My feeling was it was like I was doing intervals on a steady ride, pacemaker kicking in at times when it felt it needed to (irregular HR).
Bottom line, when exercising on a cold day the heart is doing a double job. Mine cannot do it. Some people's can so you won't see much of a difference. It is why it is faster (cycle or run) on warm days. But resting, maybe not as you have heating on. So not any colder.
My husband resting was 32 and while he was sleeping it would go down to 12. He had to get a pacemaker! He has done weight training all his life. We were shocked! They will be doing more tests to see why this happened!
Lol you honkee the weight training is what likely caused his hypertrophic heart. ❤
yeah 12 is a bit low, but what does the pacemaker force his heart to beat?
I am on vegan diet for last 30 years and my resting heart rate is between 45- 52 BPM.
My blood pressure for my age (81) seems to be normal 135/ 70.
Should I be concerned about my resting heart rate ?
I will like to hear from someone with similar medical condition.
I wouldn't be concerned without symptoms. If you are not feeling faint or breathless. Esp as 81 as you would have had those by now. But 45 is not too low. Mine was 34 in 1979 aged 23 while cycling 300M or more a week. It was 40 in 1975 when seriously wasn't doing too much. But certainly 150-200M on average. When running say aged 35 was 36-38. Nothing was known at this time but Docs did want to do tests in 1975 (had a broken jaw so in Hospital).
But years later problems came so it appears there may be an inherited issue (on putting my Fitbit on my sisters arm it was 55 HR and she hasn't done a days exercise since she was 14). And mine has never been more than 52 even when inactive for 3 years. But I did have a suspected Heart attack after a Marathon n Austria. And then 5 years later had an issue where the paramedics said your HR is 32. And I had done over 50M that day inc recently (within the last hour and a half) intervals on the bike. So 32, really? But a week later was still 32 and went to Hospital for tests. So I think overtraining and having to go to work at same time as training. This happened on way to work. So now have a pacemaker, but we have turned off rate response meaning only works less than 40 beats. And as I don't get to 40 currently is not often in use (maybe overnight).
But anyway since then there has been a significant drop off in performance (since the age of 60 and now 67). I already had a pacemaker at 60 and was doing great then at Cycle time trials. But now have started running again or trying to, my Garmin running watch says I will do 27 21 at 5K. Well that's not great (have done 18 Mins years ago), but early days yet and has come down a minute in 3 weeks. What has stopped my HR becoming low is that the pacemaker when rate response was on, was stopping the heart having an improvement factor. It was only 47-50 (and was kicking in at 50 at that time), and now perhaps 42 at times because we turned PM off. Meaning it wasn't decreasing, the resting HR. Considering that in 2016 when PM was put in it was 36-40 HR and last year was 47 minimum. And been doing a bit on the bike at least.
The medical diagnosois is dilated Cardiomyopathy meaning a dilated heart (larger than normal). Its probable then that this means HR is low. Certainly I have sick sinus syndrome, an Indian Dr said don't cycle whatever you do(I went to him with nausea-gave an ECG). Never been told no exercise in UK. So as long as you don't feel faint its ok.
Hey bro i just train in the gym for 4-5 days mostly weight training is it enough to achieve athlete level?
Thank you.
So many experts had me worried about my low BPM.
I've just been working out a lot 👍💪
A low heart rate is good but what is your O2 sat. My resting heart rate is 44 to 48 and my O2 sat is 98. Oh I am 77 yo. I play pickle ball 6 days a week and play two time on mon and tue. I have a fit bit and my average steps per day is 12789 and average miles a day is 6. That is why my resting hr is between 44 and 48. Thank you Ben
mine is 99 usually. my resting is mid 40s I'm 69 and only have moderate exercise caring for my farm animals.
Good info. When you use your Apple Watch to track your sleep, your sleeping heart rate isn’t included in the resting rate. I have noted that my resting heart rate dropped from 58 to 48 in 4 months. In the same period I have done a lot of mountain biking and HIIT on an elliptical machine. I’m 70 years old, for what it’s worth.
Thanks for clarifying Dan! I was confused about that. Makes sense now. 48 is pretty low! Sweet!
Sleeping hr is def not rhr.
Mine normally goes around 39 most nights.
Note that most fitness trackers use lowest sleeping heart rate as the resting heart rate. But the clinical "normal" of 60-100 is when measured while sitting upright in a doctor's office. For me that's at least a 10 bpm difference. So be aware of measurement differences before you brag too much.
A pro cyclist has this testing heart rate , if you do something like road cycling or running or swimming or something high intensity endurance then yes it’s very good and normal
Mine varies between 50-75
I am not athletic at all I work in a fire hot factory lifting 100 pound tires onto stands and inspecting them about 200 tires a night and my heart rates 54 resting honestly it scared me at first but it’s been like this for a year now and I’m still alive
your work must be keeping you fit
I liked the video
Which app monitors your heart rate on the Apple Watch? Thanks 🙏
Hey Sangeeta, I just use the default Apple Heart Rate app: support.apple.com/en-us/HT204666
if you want health why do you wear a device that has been shown to be damaging to the body?@@myHealthSciences
FAST FOREWARD TO 5 MINUTES, and avoid his waste of your time
my heart resting has been 46 bpm than woke up this morning to it doing 118 bpm. than it drops it's kinda freaking me out
what did they tell you causing it
Apple watch and Oura ring determine RHR during SLEEP, not the traditionally excepted definition of RHR.
Yeah I can't wear apple watch to bed cause the watch wakes you up if you go below 40bpm for over 10 minutes.
I’m worried about my resting heart rate. Mine RHR varies from 47-52 BPM. Really wanted it to be around 60 range. I noticed the more I exercise the lower my RHR becomes. I do experience dizziness sometimes . I think it is related to my RHR somehow .
Lmao why do you want a heart rate at 60?? You have a slower resting heart rate because you are fit. Your body is working more efficiently and so it doesn't need to work as hard. Embrace it! Years and years ago a doctor who took my pulse rate asked me if I work out I said yes. He said he could tell because of my resting heart rate. I believe it was in the 50s. And I read somewhere if your resting heart rate is like what you describe for a majority of your life, it's a good chance you will live much longer than the average. However, you did mention dizziness sometimes. That might be a concern. I think from what you described though you're just fit
If you feel faint, might be an irregular HR. It might be sick sinus syndrome, meaning your heart is not controlling your HR adequately. No symptoms no problem. The other possibility is low blood pressure. When do you get dizzy, how about when you stand up suddenly. Maybe getting out of bed.
I have RHR 45. Running every other day. My goal is to get it to 38 or lower, since I had 38 some years back. If I drop 10kg body fat, to get down to about 12% fat, that I think will get me there. Having a light and endurance-trained body is what gives me a low RHR. And eating light. I rarely eat meat, except occasionally fish or chicken.
The apple watch RHR is far from accurate. It's basically 10rpm slower than it is.
my heart rate on garmin 57
can you feel your heart in chest when it goes down to about 40bpm? I can and I can't sleep becasue of this
The definition of "palpitations” includes an awareness of your heart beating. Check to see whether you are getting your recommended daily amount of potassium. If not, try increasing your potassium intake to see whether that reduces or stops your bedtime palpitations. Some brands of tomato juice have added potassium and some people find that drinking a small can of tomato juice about an hour before their bedtime stops their palpitations, but this should be only one part of you getting your recommended daily amount of potassium.
Your resting heart rate will be arrived at in the morning before you generally wake up. Not wearing your Apple watch means you NEVER get a real resting heart rate value from the watch.
Mine is 37 should I be concerned
U gonna live forever !
Concerned no, but just be aware of times when you have symptoms. Like feeling dizzy. But if not doing anything, it may be an issue. I had a low HR for years , lower than a typical TDF cyclist and was only an issue years later. But I was known for feeling the cold, and having to eat more than a normal cyclist.
But if you have done 400M cycling a week for a number of years if not decades, or 50M running, then no issue. If you have done nothing or far less, I would have to lean towards hereditary if not sick sinus syndrome. Do you ever have breathing issues on way to shops. I often have needed a chair at shops for years, and yet could ride a bike at over 25 MPH for 25/50M. The answer is I think that if you have an irregular HR it is always good to get the HR up. Just sound sense.
I realize you are thrilled with yourself for reducing your heart rate through exercise. But a lot of us aren't you, and a lot of us would prefer comforting language rather than provocative language. I also lowered my heart rate to around 40 bpm last year and it had nothing to do with exercise. It had everything to do with the fact that aging made me require a much less dosage of beta blockers. Might I suggest you examine several causal factors for a low heart rate, and the point older people like myself should be concerned.
A rate rate of 0 is best the lower the better
