I started going to the gym about 3 - 4 month ago and started thai boxing a month or so ago. When i tested my resting heart rate 3 - 4 month ago it was around 130 now after 3 month its down to around 59 - 65 is this a good improvement?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Heart Rate Question?

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Your resting pulse went from 130 (tachycardia) to a lower 59-60 bpm. Well for your resting to be 130, there is usually a heart condition invovled. I have seen some on my patients come in with higher than normal (100-115) and they usually have some medical condition. A low beat per minute can also signify a good heart or a bad heart. Marathon runners and such have a low bpm (50's) because their circulator system is so effecient it takes less beats to get all their tissues properly perfused. I have also done EKG's on people with a low heartrate and they had problems. On the other hand, you may just have been in horrible shape and now you are in better shape. Just a little thought I had when I read this....I am not giving you any medical advice just sharing a few thoughts

yes it is 59-65 is nice, even good depending on your age, as for 130 3-4 months ago, are you sure about that? maybe you measured after excersize because that figure is far far to high, my guess would be if it was at all possible for it to be so high you would get out of breath from walking. You would have to be so unfit, theres no way you measured it right.I was really skinny and i smoked alot. Now ive quit smoking and feel alot better. I went to the hospital years ago because of chest pains and they found my heart was around 30% faster than normal ppls hearts - i thought i had this condition for life but i started going to the gym and i mesured my resting rate and it varied between about 110 - 130 now its down to about 59 - 65 but ive noticed i can do more cardio but tend to sweat a little more.

I am curious about this also, I dont smoke or anything, am young and play football, lift weights 5 times a week, and do some occasional light cardio even out of football season, and my resting heart rate is around 90 or so, what does that mean, cause I dont think I am in that bad of shape, and does it mean I have a possible condition, or I am going to die younger from an overworked heart? any advice would be great.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'd guess that your diet is high in sodium.
Having a higher resting pulse doesn't mean your going to do any younger than someone with a 60 bpm pulse. Some people naturally have a higher pulse that comes along with a higher metabolism. You can work on lowering the resting pulse but genetics or your body make-up can set limits. I wouldn't worry about it though.

I hit a personal best of 38 recently! And I had already eaten breakfast and come back from an errand. During a quiet moment, I noticed that the heart was beating strongly and slowly. Usually it's more in the 41-43 range upon waking up.
You get a slower heart rate by increasing the size of the heart, so that it has a larger stroke volume, and by improving the efficiency with which your blood carries oxygen.
Obviously, if your blood carries a greater concentration of oxygen, your heart doesn't have to pump as much of it.
Other than that, your heart rate is controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Stimulation by the vagus nerve reduces heart rate! A ``vasovagal syncope'' is a fainting episode caused by a parasympathetic lowering of the heart rate that can be caused by direct stimulation of the vagus nerve. I had that happen once - well, almost, not quite passed out - after squeezing through a narrow space that required me to compress my chest! Moments after, my heart rate started to dive and I started to feel faint. Cleared up after a while, though; I went into the presyncope stage only. I must have put a squeeze on the old vagus nerve when I compressed the sternum, haha. I freaked out a little bit because I thought that maybe I ruptured some internal organ and had an internal bleed, haha.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

yeah, i don't smoke either, i don't drink (just on weekends) am 25, lift+cardio 3 times a week, and i eat healthy foods. i try to limit my salt usage to a minimum (if that's what you mean by sodium)
yet, my resting heart rate is around 65 at waking up and 90 currently.
should i do more cardio?
i couldn't even run a mile 9 months ago, heart beating too fast and problems breathing, does that mean i have a heart problem?
