how long should it take for my heart rate to return to normal after exercise
My main question relates to my recovery rate after exericse.My usual resting heart rate is around 70 (as measured first thing in the morning). When I jog, I keep my heart at 175 to 185 BPM. In the first two minutes following exercise my heart rate drops to under 120. After five minutes it is between 100 and 110. Then it stays around 100 for about an hour (or sometimes 2), before gradually returning to normal. Funny enough, the same thing happens to my sister.
