Experimenting.

About a week ago, someone asked me, “what is your resting pulse?”.
I said 58, as it has always been that. And I thought it was good! Until Carolina said she had 42bpm.

Well, 58ppm has been my resting pulse for the last 10 years. At least that is what the electrocardiograms have shown.

Tonight, I was thinking about it, and did a little test.
I set the environment as relaxing as possible.
Turned on the air conditioner, lights out, a scented candle and some soft music.
I placed the cardio strap on, started the clock, and waited.
After ten minutes, I stopped it, and recalled the average from memory.

It shows 48bpm.
But I am not sure if that is a “resting” pulse, or a “falling asleep” pulse.
