I'm an obese athlete

[Mixman]

I got curious by information about resting heart beats. So I tested mine and had a look on the chart.

For my age, between 50-56 BPM is 'Athlete', mine was 54. I guess that's good

BPM fine, BMI poor

Just the weight bit I need to carry on with.

My resting BPM is 53 so does this mean I am a fat athlete.
Daft innit as my BMI is still over 50
Well done on your journey so far.

Hi guys. My pulse rate is about 45 per minute....I am definitely NOT an athlete!

Actually with big people I suspect (though can't say for sure) that it's more to do with our slow metabolic rate.

Someone with a more sciency background could tell us more I'm sure.

I have ME and I know my slow pulse and low BP are more to do with that.

but one day..........I may run a marathon!

Well I think you're the fittest obese athlete ever Mixxy with the amount of exercise you do. I just took a look at your goal weight and see you are only 3lb off goal. Thats bloody fantastic. Well done xxx
