I just used one of those shoppers drug-mart thingies, and got 120/54 with 64 bpm, standing.
The heart beat is a bit up (but the last few times I tested it I was sitting down, that should account for a few BPM), and the BP is a bit down. It was something like 130-140/65 I think.
My fitness levels are higher since the last time I played with one of those.
I don't think I'm in a danger range yet, but was wondering at what level should I get worried?
(oh yes, and genetically, my 50-odd year old father is in slightly above average shape with a resting heart beat in the mid/low 50s.)

Your heart rate is exactly (well within a few digits) as mine. I asked the nurse yesterday if it could get too low. She said not really. "As long as your active you'll be fine"
Not that the medicall staff at my university are experts though. They'll give you the same green pill for a headache and a virus. (yeah, I know about viruses, it's a joke, ok?)
