Ive started cardio, (skipping rope) and my resting heart rate atm, is 57beats/min. A little high in my opinion. |
57 bpm is actually pretty low...if I'm not mistaken the average is 70 to 75 bpm. For some reason the average for females is slightly higher than males and it typically goes up as you age.
If you've just started doing cardio the 57 bpm is almost too low...make sure you're measuring it correctly. Trained endurance athletes usually fall somewhere between 50 and 60 bpm to put your score in context.
