125: Resting heart rate
Manage episode 313375729 series 3268480
One part of get Fit To Row that I haven’t talked about in much depth is the “smart” bit.
Over the many years that I have trained, I’ve always kept an eye on my resting heart rate, why? Simply because it’s the best indicator of my hearts fitness.
My resting heart rate is low at 46 beats per minute. I’m 51.
I’ve always thought the life I lead and the stress I put myself under would be stressing the heart, but It’s doing the opposite.
I train most days, I walk the dog most days, I eat well, I work hard mentally and physically, I drink a reasonable amount of water and I sleep as well as I need to.
This all has a good impact on my fitness and my hearts health.
What may seem hard is how hard I am on myself about being fit and pushing myself. I often talk about a podcast I did a while back about the ageing struggle, getting old, which starts at a much younger age than you’d think, and is going to be different for everyone.
