Looks like, fitbit wants to see low RHR for a while to record the RHR. It is showing about 4-5 beats higher.

My HRH is usually 46bpm, although I have seen it drop to 40bpm on occasion during the night. Due to my profession I would descibe my lifestyle as sedentary, but I do strength training three days a week in the Gym.

@A_Lurker Are you keeping well hydrated? Dehydration could also lead to an elevated HRH. Personally speaking, my RHR was continually at 49-50, but I started drinking about 2ltr of water a day and it's dropped to 46bpm

Are you an athlete?
Mine gets into the low 50’s and sometimes 30’s but I’m a heavy runner .

Does that mean you're heavy for being a runner or you do a lot of running?
Funny thing, I'm both heavy for being a runner (5' 8" and 200 pounds) and I do a lot of running and my sleeping heart rate typically bottoms out between 33 and 35 and my resting heart rate (as calculated by Fitbit) typically ranges between 40 and 44.

Looks like kinda old thread 🙂 Mine is always below 50 and varies between 40-46. Sometimes I observed my HR going below 40 for example during long and boring company meetings at work :D. My wife used to be concerned about it. The doctors say it's normal for me. I had quite low HR ( 50-60 ) even when I was obese but never experienced any health issues because of that.

I am stuck at low 40s. I am getting more intense exercise now. I will also loose about 15 lbs body fat. I will be very happy with mid 30s.
When i had 30 bpm at rest, i was young and skinny :), plus workout more intensively :).

Hello everyone- first post my HR is 46 at rest also- apparently there was a Spanish cyclist who had a resting HR of 22( name escapes me) but there are plenty of athletes with much lower than 40s.

The lowest my RHR has been was in the low forties when I rowed in college.
But that was over fifty years ago. Now my personal RHR goal is anything above 0.

a few years ago, mine was in the high 80's, but now it's in the mid 60's.
I do cardio just about every day.

Am 66 and I do cardio two hours a day on average. Nighttime RHR is 41 w a point up or down at times. Cardiologist tested me and said it was 39. If I eat too late or party a bit too hard I’ve been in the mid to upper 40’s. During day , when I am at full rest, I’ve seen it go as low as 37, but 38 or 39 more typical as the low. That’s after doing some deep breathing and relaxing. Normal daytime RHR is more like 44, 45. I can get it up to 175 during a hard workout but my typicalHR during a 2 hour workout is 158-162.

It is great to know that we can have low bpm even at older age. I am little younger them you. But have similar bpm.
You gave me hope to work getting my bpm down. I always thought that bpm will get much higher as we get aged. If i can get bpm to mid 30 s while seating up, i will consider myself being young :).

My RHR seems to be going slightly up ( today shows 47 ) since I reduced the amount of exercising. I'm trying to recover from the slipped disc injury. It happened a couple of weeks ago when I bent to tie my shoelaces ( bugrit! ). Since to recover I still have to be at least slightly active ( it helps ) so I am but had to cease all the HIIT, running etc. Since then I observe my RHR going 2-3 beats up than usual ( and my regular HR seems to be slightly higher ).

My RHR and how low my heart gets while sleeping is totally influenced by what I eat at night time.
I am recovered from an eating disorder but while restricting my food my RHR was 42-43 now that I eat normally it increased to 53-54
so a low RHR does not necessarily mean fit and healthy, because I was neither.

good luck
