My resting HR is typically about 72 BPM, but it has been slowly improving over the past year.

Have you done any measurements of your orthostatic heart rate? That is the difference in your resting HR between sitting and standing. It is a pretty interesting indicator of overtraining.

I have had my heart rate measured on several occasions in different situations. I meditate often and when I'm deep in meditation, it is about 25 bpm. when just sitting and reading, its between 40 and 50, and when excercising, it can get up to about 110. I know the meditating one is low, but just trying to reference my heart rate to others when resting or excercising.

When I'm relaxing onthe sofa, my heart rate is 70bpm. When I get up, and move around ,it goes up to 100 and comes down to 70 very fast when I sit down again. When I exercise my bpm goes to 120bpm. Why would it go up so much just from getting up? I,m 67 years old.
