  • profile pic I took part in the Resting Heart Rate Challenge first thing this morning, smashed the top spot, my HR was 36BPM, which is about the norm for me, always has been for a long period of time. I know there are going to be many doubters, but honestly I have always been between the 34-42 range, top professional cyclists are known to have heart rates in their 20's to very low 30's...Mine is from a background of cross country skiing, and martial arts training, have had advice from a japanese grandmaster on how to control the breathing and also how to bring the HR right down even when competing, what he taught me is a secret that I have kept for near on 22 years now,and this is why my sit-up and press-up records are over the one hour, I can regulate and bring my HR down to a crazy level when performing them.

  • profile pic OK, I've tried to take Sbaguru's excellent suggestion on board. The challenge formula has been updated so it takes 2bpm off for every decade of your age (although it does it gradually - i.e. someone who's 20 gets nothing off, someone who's 30 gets 2bpm off, someone who's 35 gets 3 off and so on)

About this Konkura general fitness challenge

Challenge created by:Dinosaur
Profile pic: Dinosaur

Challenge for: all
Ability level: suitable for all competitors
Age range: any age 		Who's got the lowest resting heart rate for their age? The normal estimate of max heart rate is (220-Your Age), so to win this challenge you need to enter your resting heart rate in beats per minute (taken with a heart rate monitor or by careful counting), and your age. The lower the ratio between your resting heart rate and your theoretical maximum, the fitter you are!

You should take your resting heart rate when you're genuinely rested and relaxed - first thing when you wake up is best, without getting out of bed.

We want to know what sports/training regimes result in the lowest heart rate, so make sure you describe what training you do and how long you've been doing it, plus any information about diet, in your score comments so people can see what works!

  • Hi Vanessa - is it appearing as males only? It was set up as for anyone to join, and that's what it's showing in the description. We'll look into it

  • Hi team Konkura. Didn't mean to imply it should be maximum heart rate, was pointing out that by age agusting it you actually penalize the older folks. I think just resting heart rate regarless of age is better. Best might be to deduct 2 bpm for eery decade over 30. 30-39 = (RHR-2), 40-49 = (RHR-...
