Well, who would have thought, /fit/, the fat kid now has athletic heart syndrome. Anyone else have a resting heart rate thats 45 or so and below?

Nah, I went to my doctor today. He said that it was probably athletic heart syndrome, since I do a little over an hour of pretty damn good cardio everyday. He said I should check with a cardiologist just in case, but he said he wasn't worried about it. I'm getting about 40 bpm right now... Fuck yeah!

And you've been doing this for how long?

I've done 1-2 hours of jogging/biking/martial arts a day for the last two years, and I still have a resting rate closer to 60.

raise your heart rate more during those workouts

about half a year now, consistently. I do a pretty steep incline at 10 mph for 30 minutes on the treadmill, and then do the elliptical for 35 minutes on the highest resistance at around 100 RPM.

Ok, I think I have this, since my heart rate has been around 40 for a while now. However, I am a bit scared. After I get to my goal weight... I don't think I'll want to do an hour of cardio every single day. More like 30-45 minutes 4-5 times a week. Will I fuck up my heart during the transition or for the future? :X

I had a heart rate of 48 for a while, but that's due to being horribly underweight/eating disordered.

Low heart rates can be normal in the athletic. Get some tests done to make sure everything is in order, if heart tests come back fine then you're fine.

If you get up and walk around, or jog does it go up to an exercise pace? There's a big difference between a heart that has a low resting pace that can still beat quickly when it needs to (that would be healthy!), and a heart that can't beat fast during exercise (that would signify a problem...)

Also, are you very tired when your pulse is that low? If you stand up do you get dizzy/lightheaded and it takes a while to adjust?

That would signify low blood pressure. If you feel normal with a heart rate that low, with no problems then you're probably fine.

bradicardia = anything below 60
after just half a year of training there is no way you could lower your heart rate that much. Consult a cardiologist... though there is nothing he can do about it, u just have to live with it. Keep on training to increase Hemoglobin that way even with low heart rate your muscles\organs get enouph Oxygen (that is the reason why the heart rate decreases in the first place).

I walk for 40 minutes a day and jog for 30 minutes a day, normally 6 times a week.

My resting heart rate has been in the 40s when I was really relaxed too (like when I'm tired and its bedtime), most of the time throughout the day it varies between 60-90 depending on what I'm doing (and of coarse much higher, in the 160 area when I'm jogging/exercising)

Lance Armstrong, that crazy cyclist guy has a resting heart rate of ~32 and he pumps his heart rate up to 200 during cycling. A low rate can be perfectly healthy, just make sure you don't have a problem. If the doc clears you then you're healthier than most people.

Salt gets a bad rap because it's linked to high blood pressure. The fact is most Americans eat salt piggishly. If you exercise that heavily you're going to sweat out a great deal of salt. A deficiency of salt can cause lower heart rates as well. Make sure you're getting enough potassium, magnesium, salt, and water. Try to get the recommended amounts without supplementing, it's not that hard.

My resting heart rate is 77 at the moment, I've never worried about resting heart rate before. Right now I've had a stacker and 2 korean energy drinks. I really just do it for the buzz. Is this unhealthy? If so why?

If you've just had a couple of energy drinks then I doubt that what you took was your real RESTING heart rate... but even if it were 77 is fine.

I exercise the same amount as him, 70 minutes, but everyday, and at a high intensity. I'm sure athletic heart syndrome is very possible. I may be going to the cardiologist anyway, but my doctor did say he wasn't worried much about it.
