What is your resting pulse?

[Fallowfox]

I am going to collect your data. I promise only to use it for the most evil purposes.
I was motivated to ask this question because I recorded my pulse while I was preparing to go to sleep yesterday, and discovered it was 48.
I am interested in seeing how atypical my pulse is compared to the rest of you, and what the overall distribution looks like. I suspect Gaussian, but maybe it will be skewed?

To record your resting pulse, relax (don't do it just after physical exertion) press your index and middle fingers to the soft tissue where your wrist joins your hand (just below the thumb) and you should feel the pulse.
I counted for a full minute, but a duration of 15 seconds should be long enough to gather a representative number.
If you count for 15 seconds, multiple the number of beats by 4.

I technically haven't timed it on my own while at home but it's consistently around mid 60s every time I go to the doctors!

You must do a lot of exercising!

About an hour a day.

Huh.
Is there a reason for it? An hour doesn't seem like it would do that. I know Olympic runners can have it lower than that.

I assume random spikes don't count.

From what I understand, that's pretty healthy! Most people I've met are around 90+

I actually can't feel it the way you're describing - I HAVE to use a machine or have a doctor do it. This has been an issue ever since I was little.

Average resting pulse lie around 60 to 100. I've lost quite a lot of weight, which is a contributor. Once I have lost most of what I want to lose I may end up below 70.

Did you steal my identity, yet?

 

[Nexus Cabler]

I never rest

 

[Borophagus Metropolis]

I wish I was at 69 bpm. Someone needs to excite me just slightly.

The pfp explains it

Joking asise, I found going a week without alchohol and cutting your caffeine in half works wonders. However the strongest component in most cases seems to be stress.

For a whole week you have to be the designated driver, attend Sunday Services, and watch no less than 15 of hours Greg's Anatomy.

Some things are just impossible. For example: counting the sides of a circle, licking one's elbow, me fitting into my leopard print speedo from 20 years ago, and everything that you just said.

It's not like you need to though, the average resting pulse of most canines are 60-100.
