What is your pulse rate?

[CFH]

I have a very high heartrate due to such a reduced lung capacity. Basically just sitting on my rowing machine will take it about 120 and I'm at 165 after about a minute.

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.

I've had mine climb to over 180 when I'm doing really intense intervals. That can't be healthy.

My heart-rate always seems to get really high when I'm doing strenuous exercise, especially intervals.
