recovery heart rate

[cenzo78]

i was doing research and i read that a recovery heart rate of 35bpm or more indicates almost no risk of sudden death by heart failure. I have done my recovery heart rate in forever, but i got it up to 150 after a min it was 130 after the second min 120... It took 5 min to get back down to 90bpm. Granted i was runnin on a speed stack, but should i be worried it took so long to go down?

I'd say no, but how long does it normally take for it to come down?

not sure, I have not checked it in a while. I have a client that gets up to 160 in a boxing plyo workout and his recovery hr is about 70bpm, and he is about 30lbs overweight. Im in decent shape and my recovery is 20bpm? Im hoping its the speed stack that has me thumpin

That sounds about right, I had mine tested last year.. think it took me about 3 minutes to get back down to around 82 after around 155/160..
