Okay, okay, I'm tired of arguing weight with Aquageek and company...and Centaur brought up a very neat idea.
So answer me this, if you're so inclined to: What's your resting heartrate? There are a few who say theirs is below 55, and some who say it's right around 60.
To try and get a slightly less askew measurement, try taking it while you're sitting right here, reading this. Hopefully, you're on the computer during the day, either at work (shame on you for being on the boards at work!) or at home (I won't question that), or somewhere, and you sit down for a few minutes at least. Take your heartrate, and answer the poll, and we'll see what we come up with.
I'd start by telling you mine, but I had an asthma attack this morning, and as a result, my resting heart rate is higher, around 68 bpm's. Typically, it's 54. Stupid asthma. Makes me feel like I've been hit by a truck. :(

Good point. Probably quite a few!
Did mine last night or the night before, and it was lower than it's ever been.... 32.
Usually around 36-39.
But I'm still a slow runner and swimmer... go figure. Even so, it's nice at the age of 55 to have that kind of heart rate. Oops, have to raise it pretty soon. Off to run a 5k and swim my master's practice right afterward!
Have a great day, folks! :D
