A member asked:
Does an overweight person usually have a higher heart rate than a normal weight person? 27yo 200lbs 5'3. heart rate between 90 and 120's.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Answer is yes.: All things being equal, overweight people tend to have heart rates that are a bit higher than normal weight people. With exercise and conditioning, though, even someone who is overweight can reduce their heart rate as evidence of aerobic conditioning.
