RHR is a check where you are not awake when it is taken but in sleep around 4 am in the morning. Your average American RHR is 70
so unless you take an average over time with a HR monitor that you can plug into a computer and see when it was lowest during sleep- being awake can jump it alot. Also although it is true that your stroke volume can increase with exercise and a RHR can show that- it can only go so far down - not showing you if you have become more fit. What it can show is that you may have a need for more rest.
