Ive not tested it in a while but at absolute rest I inagine it gets down to about 75 now although that's when Im lying down. As I'm typing it's probably nearly 100 but quite frankly you have made me feel better Miles

I get to 165 on a treadmill or rower pretty quickly. Does that mean I'm outrageously unfit? My times and distances indicate I have quite decent fitness but I think my lung capacity and heart rate are terrible. I'm still a smoker though. Sadly.
Its the smoking. Cut out the cigs and I bet within a week or two your resting hr would be 10-15 bpm lower.
