>tfw no clear information on what a normal / healthy resting heart rate is
some sources say 60-100
some sources say 60-80
this is a difference in range of 100%!!
obviously people in very good cardiovascular fitness can go below 60 and sometimes stupid low like 30 if they're cyclists.
but what the fuck should I be at as a non-obese regular joe?
I would guess something around 70-80 and the only reason 80-100 is included is for people who are fat or something.
Mine sits at 40, aim for that :)
Mine is 45, i run about 15 mi per week
heart rate is a meme
blood pressure is a meme
cholesterol is a meme
heart disease in general is a meme

I am aiming for that.
My question is for what is healthy before starting.

One thing I've learned is that ekgs are useless unless you're having heart attack
>TFW slowly losing your mind looking at your EKGs in your 20s
>TFW have submitted dozens to cardiologist (20$ each) and all come back clean
it should be illegal for people like me to buy EKGs on Amazon much less one that works with a phone

>What the fuck should I be as a non-obese regular Joe
You shouldn't be a regular joe. Derp. You should aim to have very good cardiovascular fitness. Easy to do with much less than an hour of cardio a couple of times a week.
It's ez brah just run 5km every 2nd day

No shit. I just want to know that my heart is ok before starting.
I'm going to get a full cardiac workup in two weeks but for now all I have is a HR monitor and EKG

Sorry if that came across as rude, I just want to be careful
> For example, a 2013 study in the journal Heart tracked the cardiovascular health of about 3,000 men for 16 years and found that a high RHR was linked with lower physical fitness and higher blood pressure, body weight, and levels of circulating blood fats. The researchers also discovered that the higher a person’s RHR, the greater the risk of premature death. Specifically, an RHR between 81 and 90 doubled the chance of death, while an RHR higher than 90 tripled it.

Thanks. Pubmed I take it?
Also it does not say their age, but given they were tracked for 16 years, I assume it would be no younger than 35

This, as a doctor who works at Nintendo I can firmly say that heart disease is a meme.
I'm so used to being stressed out, anxious and neurotic that my reaction to a resting heart rate going down to 70bpm is fear
