My resting heart rate data.... and why I can live without it!
View this post on Hive: My resting heart rate data.... and why I can live without it!
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
Yes, be careful what you wish for! A few years ago I couldn't understand why my resting heart rate was around 50 bpm. I certainly wasn't feeling athletic - in fact I'd put on 31lbs very quickly and felt tired all the time. It turned out that I had an underactive thyroid.
I treated it with high doses of iodine (a controversial therapy). Luckily it worked, and I'm now much fitter and have lost the 31lbs. My resting heart rate is now 54 bpm, and I'm pretty sure it's because I do regular hillwalking and indoor climbing.
65 bpm seems healthy and not low enough to cause concern - it probably is due to being fit and taking regular exercise.
Crikey! Glad to hear it all worked out for you in the end... that's good weight loss.
Walking really is one of the best excercises there is!

Thanks! I basically lost all the weight I'd put on. I think climbing is the best exercise - we're all primates, so it's natural :)
Minimum Heart Beat is a good measure as well in order to know what’s your particular fit status in a particular moment of your training.
For instance, if I’m just awaking up but still laying on my bed and my heart beat is above 40 bpm it used to indicate that I’m still out of fit, instead if indicates values below 40, it used to be aligned with my best fit cardio performance.
Anyway, for me, getting a minimum Heart frequency is not a goal per se...because there are other variables that affect your performance as well as, for instance, the quality of food you ingest or your muscles strength...

It does interest me I might start varying a few more things to see what happens.
