Hmm Is this normal??

[Trying2getfittt]

So my resting Hr seems to be around 66 per fit bit.

i had a baby 3 months ago & need to lose 20-30 pounds to lower my BMI . 

My hr when walking can be from 120-130s easily.

last night when walking on the beach it was like 140/150s is that normal?

I do get out of breath but my cardiologist mentioned the possibility of being out of shape lol

(I did have previous tachycardia but I’ve had a full work up. My resting hr was going to 115 at some times just taking it at the doctors)

now when  I sit down it easily comes down:

Welcome to the forums!

I would say yes its normal. Beach walking is more difficult than normal walking. Meaning the Sand

Hope to see you around!

@Trying2getfittt  Great to see you in the Groups already.. Wendy and I have been around for a few years and have benefited from the Community and our Fitbits.

This link shows you the effort for Walking with different terrains and efforts including carrying weights..

A value of 1 is your body at rest (BMR) so you can get the feel of the effort with your 15 lb child..

Keep it up and your cardiologist will be happy..

Thanks for the info. How do you tell what’s normal?

so sometimes sitting or in the car etc it’s like 80-90s walking around d my house can be like 110+  

ive never tracked my Hr before

@Trying2getfittt  Use this link and get an idea of the zones.. It's worked out on the calculation 220-your age.  Learn about the fat burning and cardio zones..

I went for a brisk walk today and I peaked at 143bpm.. My maxHR is 141bpm...

Also your RHR will vary and you should look at that in context with your Cardio Fitness score..
