Blood pressure & pulse

I can find lots of information on high blood pressure.

Since old people worry about such things (I'm starting to!), I was wondering about what was normal and what was low. The little data I can find suggests I'm at the low end of normal. 100/60 with a pulse of 53, just sitting down after working in the shop. The tech measuring this (yesterday) indicated that my exercise probably led to what she thought was low BP & pulse. Well. I'm not in particularly good shape by my standards. I can't just hop up and ride a fast 50 without thinking about it.

If I get trained up, should I be concerned that I'll develop lower BP? I don't think so, but figured I'd see if any of you folks have run into this.

This is what happens from listening to smart doctors. Job=stress, get rid of it. Eat fruit, avoid bad foods. Exercise lots. Don't worry, be happy. I used to have a resting pulse of 75 and a BP of 130/70!
