heart rate recovery

[Jack]

Hi I'm a skinny (8.5 stone = 119 pounds) 53 yr old male (just
to set he scene) My resting pulse is about 70bpm I did some
cycling exercise for 45 minuets today, averaging 143 beats per
minute An hour later after I had stopped the exercise, my
heart rate was still 85 bpm

Would you say this is normal?

This is the first time I've checked my heart rate an hour
after the event - I think I'll always try to do this in
the future in order to get a true picture of the health
of my heart.

Thanks

resting heart rate is taken/measured lying flat on your
back in bed

Recovery heart rate is when your heart rate reaches a "peak"
after an exercise routine and the" time" it takes to get down
to a rest rate

By measuring you heart rate just before you finnish your
routine at a high HR (not max) then measure it exactly 15
minutes later and record (you adjust the time for you and
advice varies)

The quicker your heart drops to normal the fitter you
are becoming

As you become more fit, your heart rate will drop much faster.
As you become more fit, if you have a target zone, this
requires more attention because if you slack off a little your
heart rate will drop quickly out of the zone.
