As far as the low end of the sepectrum, it is called bradycardia. In athletes, bradycardia can be normal. For most People, anything under 40 is cause for real concern. For endurance athletes it is another story. My resting HR is 38. They are elite cyclists who have posted low 30's and I think Miguel Indurain was in the very high 20's. Lance A. is also near that. But for most people, that would spell shock and death.

For Dr. Z and the giggling IronBarbarian. You guys ought to check your ego's and attitudes.
gomo said:I am not a skinny cyclist either, but I am aware enough in these matters to know that a high or low resting heart rate can be a dangerous thing for some who is 330lbs or someone who is 130lbs. Try not to tune out of the discussion on health if the fellow being discussed isn't a Big Boy. Skinny people and monsters can both die of high blood pressure. You may have thought I overreacted to you. Probably true. Now re-read your reaction to me.
