    My average heart rate whilst resting two months ago was 90-99.
    No surprise I got gassed and felt crappy.
    Always felt knackered.
    With proper diet and exercise, got it down to resting at between 65-70 during the day.
    Down to 56 during sleep.
    For all you high bpm guys and gals out there, you can make the change!!

      That’s unreal progress in 2 months. I’m not gonna call cap and just say you must have been recording it wrong at the beginning. Great job though. That sleep heart rate is what I strive for. I’m hovering 60s right now when I’m not sick.

      @@dumpster-kun7132 I got these recordings from two different devices. Fitbit and an Apple Watch.
      The heart was high at resting due to a few factors. Stress, poor diet & sedentary lifestyle. So, I couldn’t eliminate stress as that can be anything that triggers that.
      But what I could sort out was my diet, cutting out the quantity, upping the quality - getting adequate rest.
      Exercise was just me walking slightly faster than normal 4k a day. Plus going to the gym at work to lift weights and get on the eliptical.
      Because I’d been so bone idle and filled my body with crap, the bounce back and results were quite drastic.
      You’d have to bare in mind, I was very unfit aerobically but I was still strong, so think along the lines of a power lifter.
      I’m at the point now where I can comfortably run a 1k, which isn’t much by any means, but it’s something I could never do, say 3/4 years ago.
      I play football and regularly cover 4/5k a game but that’s sprints, jogs, walks - but you get the point, the improvement is there.
      Mate, 60 when sleeping isn’t bad. Not by a long shot.

      Heart rates are also different depending on how naturally hyperactive you are, even if you're fit, if you're just a energetic person, you'll have a higher than average resting heart rate, if you have anxiety problems similar apply.
      Resting heart rate being high is more than a symptom of bad physical health, it's a symptom of mental issues, whether or not it's bad (like hyperactivity) or just misplaced (like anxiety), depends.

    • @ShyBoy6ty9
      @ShyBoy6ty9 3 роки тому +1138

      Idk about average, but I've always been able to do pushups much more easily than pullups. I could do 30+ easily, but not a single pull-up. It didn't make sense to me for years until I considered how my weight is distributed. Most guys carry their weight in their gut, while I carry mine mostly in my legs, so there's a ridiculous amount of weight I'm not lifting on a pushup that's there for a pull-up. With most people though, it's probably just how easy it is to practice a pushup rather than pullups.

    There's NO way that the average man can bench 180lbs (81kg). In fact, I don't think most people who workout can lift that. (It's not an insane weight, but in order to lift it, you have to go the gym to AT LEAST 4-5 months, depending on your starting point and your overall size of course, and the average man doesn't workout let alone go to the gym).
    And also I'm 100% sure that the average man can't do a single pull up (again, doing a pull up is pretty easy if you workout, but most people don't workout at all).

    I can do pullups 16-17, run a mile for 6:45, height 176 cm, weight 76 kg, around 12% body fat, pushups (to the ground) 48, situps 32, bench press 97 kg, chest measure 107 cm, biceps 40 cm and waist 80 cm. Although I've lifting from the age of 20 (currently 33) I wasn't consistent and that's why I'm steel in that intermediate phase. I'm consistent in the last year so hoping to progress to an advance level of at least 120 kg bench press and 10 muscle ups.

One thing that could probably help, is learning to enjoy the workouts themselves, rather than only enjoying how you look after them. The moment you begin to enjoy the workout, is the moment that you no longer need motivation. You'll greatly appreciate your persistence in the future.

    I want to point out that it's not necessarily the resting heart rate alone that determines cardiovascular fitness. Average resting heart rate is approximately 80 BPM.
    A much better measure is Pre-load vs. After-load, which follows Sterling's Law of Vascular dynamics.
    It looks at your blood pressure before, during and after stressful periods.
    Low systolic blood pressure, without risk of orthostatic hypotension, during stressful activity (exercise) is indicative that the after-load is much less than the pre-load. Which is fantastic for your heart health and a much better measure.

My life changed when I finally set my mind to the thinking that anything is possible if you decide so. I took a meal plan to start with. I created it online, on Dietarize, which was super helpful to me. I didn't have to worry about calories, macros, nutrients and all that stuff, I just focused on walking long distances and exercising after I got on a level where I could do some simple workouts. I hope my story will inspire you to do the same. To change your body you must first change your mind!

    Note: I'm 40 years old, and obese at around 350lbs/around 40% body fat - I'm constantly doing something about this and I fight my bad eating habits, but have failed a lot. I also lift regularly and walk a lot. My resting heart rate over the past two/three years has been between 45 to 50 BPM. Just a note.

      Man its hard but worth it. Trust me you will feel so fucking good if you keep your diet as small n clean as needed. Its an investment of motivation. You will in just a couple weeks get the full benefits. I can do it with a crazy fked life - you can do it

      You must be really tall and have a ton of muscle mass for those numbers to be true. If you lost 70 lbs, you would be 280 lbs with some resemblance of a six pack starting to show (20% bf). I'm watching the Greg Doucette channel a bit and it's helping me stay motivated as I try to make a step from 18 to hopefully 15% body fat. I think if you stay at it, and weigh in each morning, you could easily hit 25% body fat coming from 40%. But I have never been over 20%, so I can't speak much personally for anything beyond that except guess. I'm 38 now and I can say that getting fat is getting scarily easy these days.

    I think resting heart rate is related to VO2 max, which is pretty much your cardiovascular capacity. When I was in high school I played varsity soccer, I had 2 hrs practice 5 days a week, including some really high intensity conditioning such as running hills and stuff like that. One time I went to check out my broken finger, and the nurse was impressed that I had a resting heart rate of 47. Ten years later, I just tested and I have a rest heart rate of 62 lol.

    • @medicalpol
      @medicalpol Рік тому

      I'd say kinda, not entirely. Personally my resting heart rate is kinda good (~62) but my VO2 max is kinda shit-ish. I'd guess when training strength you train your heart too, but not much your VO2 max. It's probable though that I'm biased since I have asthma, and weirdly enough the condition doesn't really affect VO2 max much, but instead the respiratory flow (which really gets felt when I'm running)

      @SenorPenor1337 Рік тому

      As a rule maybe, but my RHR is in the mid 40s whereas my VO2 max has always been trash. I'm 37 btw and I rarely drink alcohol, I lift 5x a week and smoke weed maybe once or twice a week..

    16:50 In those renderings at the beginning, with the Dutch, American, French and Japanese men, the average waist size for the American man was 99cm I think, so that's about 39 inches.

    Wel ive spent like 100k in the last year on Sups so I’m sure I made the act go up. Anyone who actually consistently use the supplements is going to spend way more than $874 a year I mean think of it you could spend that much on protein powder alone

      i think I'm pretty average and I go through about 5 lbs of protein every 4-6 weeks. So I'm close to $600/yr just on protein. And I buy the cheap ON whey.

      Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Works out at around $70 bucks a month. I personally but a decent quality whey (3rd party tested), creatine, pre, multi vitamins and some omega 3. Pretty basic, but that could average out at $70 a month pretty easily.

      @@user-zk4dv2nx8k I order protein bars/cookies/muesli on the regular for breakfast/inbetween meals pretty much everyday, How is it "careless" if it's used as nutrition/supplementation to what your body uses. Careless would be buying a pair of 1k jeans when a 50$ brand is just as good

    I'm 37, 197 lbs, and 5'9" so technically obese. However while doing some medical training at work the other day using a pulse oximeter my resting HR was 53. I work out at least 4-5 times a week. My point is that the "obesity" percentage may be a little misleading.

      Pretty sure that counts as overweight and not obese though
