What I meant was that low-intensity workouts does not increase my resting heart rate when I measure it, but it does return my resting heart rate to the normal values. That is in the short run, but in the long run, it definitely brings my resting heart rate down.

Anyway, I'm so totally not used to such low resting heart rates, very slow at times that it scares me a little. Wonder how is it like to have a resting heart rate of the low 30s. That would be like : Huh? Did my heart stop pumping? Oh, there it is again.
