Brag about your resting heartrate here
Just went to donate blood yesterday and before you donate they take temp/bp/hr, and i was surprised to see that my ticker clocked in at 49bpm. Looks like laying off the caffeine and sodium and getting in a lot more exercise is a good thing for the heart.
Anyone else feeling good about cardio health and feel like bragging?

Recently had blood work done. The tech was impressed that my resting rate was 56. I feel pretty good about that.

Well - I just took it myself - 32 for 30 secs..so 64, but I am a good 50-60 pounds from my goal weight and have been working out steadily for about 4 months...so hopefully I will see y'all at 48 before you know it.

Feh, 72 after an afternoon of tech support blobbing-about. But I live on caffeine too.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

48-62 range, depending on how much caffeine the day before.

79 here, but I am still a bit revved up from my ride today, and also just finished grilling dinner and such. Just got a chance to sit down and eat and everything now.

Usually in the 40's, I've seen it as low as 42.. The Metropolol does that for me..

But if you've worked hard on the bike to lose weight and get into a better overall condition, this is one of the things that drastically improves, and it's something to take pride in.
