I'm a 19 year old girl, i'm average size and i exercise everyday (swimming and yoga)My brother recently got a heart rate monitor watch for his birthday and he just measured my family's heart rates.
They all had heart rates between 70 and 90. Mine was 150.
We took it many times and it even went up to 160 at one point.
I was just laying down on the couch, watching tv. not exercising at all :S
Is this bad?
what should i do?
charlie sheen - i think u counted wrong lol, or the things wrong, redo it, but my heartrate is pretty high now becasue i dont do any exercise atm, when i was in teams and competitions my resting heartrate was like 60
ReplyDeleteRobert - If 150 is your resting heart rate then you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Your heart is beating way too fast.
ReplyDeletegangadharan nair - You should consult a cardiologist, if your resting pulse rate exceeds 100 beats per minute.
ReplyDeleteMike - A resting heart rate of 150 is far too high. If you're sure that you haven't made a mistake it may be a good idea to visit your doctor and check it out.
ReplyDeleteThе general guideline given fοr calculating уουr max heart rate іѕ 220-уουr age. Sο іf уου аrе 20 years οƖԁ, (220-20), уουr max heart rate ѕhουƖԁ bе round 200 beats per minute. Thіѕ саn bе a general guideline аnԁ there іѕ ѕοmе variation іn thіѕ, ѕο ԁο nοt bе concerned іn case уου аrе exercising wіth a heart rate monitor аnԁ spot уουr max heart rate varies somewhat tο thе estimate. Thе calculation іѕ a guideline аnԁ nοt a hard аnԁ fаѕt rule.
