A member asked:

When is a heart rate too high while working out. my resting heart rate is 90 to 110?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heart rate: The threshold depends upon age and cardiac condition. The standard threshold is 140-160 beats per minute for exercise. Your resting heart rate is not normal at 90-110. Is this typical?
