Question about cardio and heart rate

[JeremyNG25]

Ok so talked to a guy today who said when he does cardio his heart never goes above 80 BPM. You heard me correctly that was not a typo. I've looked everywhere to find information as to what type of person could have such a low heart rate while sprinting and have found nothing. Is this guy for real or is he full of crap?

crap. resting heart rate is usually around 60-100bpm and during cardio it passes 140

Yea man I was trying to figure out what in the hell he was talking about. It just didn't make sense

I think he has no idea what he is talking about, he may have a broken heart rate monitor and to stupid to know it ????

He is either: A) not working hard enough; B) full of it; C) both; D) someone who should see a doctor ASAP (low heartrate while exercising greatly increases risk of atrial fibrillation)

My rested HR is sub 50 sitting, and my HR on sprints stays between 145-170; 135-150 on jogging.

Heck, even at 3mph starting I think I'm at 110+.

Maybe he forgot to turn the treadmill on?
