Resting on my desk in front of me is my heart monitor which is showing a very healthy rate of
39BPM. Unfortunately I'm not wearing the chest strap and it;s the other side of the room, so what
is beating at 39 BPM?

is it one of those 418Mhz devices? Depending on the signal type, encoding and protocol and how many
other gadgets of this nature you may have (such as thermometers/weather stations, cordless mice,
burglar alarm equipment) could there perhaps be a false signal being picked up by the HRM?

39 bpm is just a sign of being very fit & healthy. The lowest I've ever seen mine is about 35, but
that was quite a few years ago when i did more miles, played more squash & trained really hard for
my 1st dan in Tae Kwon Do.

Sadly, its back up in the low 50's now at rest.

Your resting rate is the heart rate one hour before you wake up, *not* your heart rate when you're
awake and sitting down!

I didn't *comment* on the point. After all, aside from the point as it is, the phrase "resting rate"
was improperly used.

Too fast for Big Mig, who I thought ticked over at a mind numbing 28bpm.

'course now he's retired he's not as fit as he was.

I wish I was as unfit as that.

Resting rate isn't mentioned in the OP. Read it again!

Resting heart rate is your heart rate at REST, practical problems prevent it ever being 1 hour before you wake up!!! Anyway, your heart rate 1 hour before you wake up would be called HR 1 HOUR BEFORE WAKING not RESTING HR!!!

It doesn't matter when you measure your resting heart rate (as long as you are at rest), but if you want to compare between different measures and individuals its best to use standardised procedures (hence why people measure it on waking). Your Resting Heart rate is doesn't really tell you much about performance or health as its not directly related to either, although it does adjust with changes in performance and health.

As for your original post, its a shame its not higher (i.e. 160) just think of how fit you would get sitting at your desk!

Think I might argue with this. Unless you have a method of recording your sleeping heart rate, this
definition is next to useless.

A more typical definition from the net would be:

"This is a person's heart rate at rest. The best time to find out your resting heart rate is in the
morning, after a good night's sleep, and before you get out of bed."

Now I would agree that the moment you wake, you are not truly "resting" but that's probably as near
a resting heart rate as any of us are ever going to be able to measure.

Incicdentally, I can't find a single net reference to "one hour before you wake up". I would
personally guess that your *lowest* rate would be around 2 - 3 in the morning when your cortisol
levels are at their lowest.

Yes but you still seem to have missed the point that it's not the OPs resting rate that is being
displayed. He not even wearing the watch or chest strap!

To argue that "resting rate" is improperly used when the watch is displaying a phantom rate and not
that of a person hardly seems relevant.

Hope this clears things up.
