Heart rate recovery
Hi
I'm a skinny (8.5 stone = 119 pounds) 53 yr old male (just to set he scene) My resting pulse is about 70bpm I did some cycling exercise for 45 minuets today, (a lovely run) averaging 143 beats per minute An hour later after I had stopped the exercise, my heart rate was still 85 bpm Would you say this is normal? This is the first time I've checked my heart rate an hour after the event - I think I'll always try to do this in the future in order to get a baseline for future monitoring. Thanks |

Heart rate recovery
Many people have higher resting heart rates after sustained exercise. I
suppose that the body needs more blood flow to various areas to shore up the working parts to get them ready for exercise again if need be. |

From my experience, after a 140 bpm workout, I'll drop about
35 or 40 pretty quickly, in two minutes. THEN I enter a cooldown phase, and it drops much more slowly for about an hour. My resting is high 50's. If you are still warm, your heart rate may stay up a bit. |

This is the first time I've checked my heart rate an hour after the event - I think I'll always try to do this in the future in order to get a baseline for future monitoring. With only those two data points, it's hard to say, but that wouldn't be unusual for me. A good indicator of your overall conditioning is how far it drops after 2 minutes of rest. For me, it goes from around 160 to about 120 or a little less in two minutes. I have a resting heart rate of 40 bpm. When doing intervals my heart rate droppes from 170 to about 90 after one minute after my final interval. From there down to normal resting heart rate it takes quite some time, probably several hours depending of the time of the excersise. Hjalmar |

Even if you don't do a hard workout, it's unlikely your HR will ever get down to your true resting heart rate. It's always lowest in the morning before you've gotten out of bed (or even rolled over to turn off the alarm clock or annoy the wife). In my case, the difference was around 10 bpm.

I take my baseline from before rather than after the activity, but sometimes I
leave the monitor on after the exercise to see how it evolves. I don't get back to base until quite a while after stopping the exercise. But another important factor to consider is eating. I generally have dinner after I finish exercizing and the fact of _digesting_ sends my rate _way_ up. So If you're doing the same, allow for it.
