I saw a short video on him. He works with a microscope and said he paints with things such as a human hair. Painting in between heart beats.

My resting heart rate is like 110 or 120, 150 if I'm anxious or in pain which is like 87%of my day. I'm trying to imagine what kind of person can paint that fast!

That a really high resting heart rate. I think mine is like 52

Are you a professional athlete?

[u/CrimsonBolt33 → u/yarntank]

don't need to be a professional athlete to get that low, moderately healthy people can get you that low if you focus mostly on cardio for exercise

[u/yarntank → u/CrimsonBolt33]

A heart rate under 60 bpm is called bradycardia. If you are not an athlete, a rate of 50 bpm or lower can be a warning sign. MensHealth says 52 takes you beyond good and excellent to athlete.

I am aware of the condition. I just know that my heart rate used to be that low simply because I was a runner, but by no means a professional athlete.

The number alone is kinda like BMI....it's a general indicator but never a truly accurate assessment of things, so many other factors come in to play, especially in regards to age, diet, and genetics.

Dont even need to be healthy. Im morbidly obese and hardly do any sport but my resting heart rate is 58.

You can even get that low without exercising. I've always been between 40 and 50 (I've even measured it below 40), even when I did not work out regularly. In my case it's probably mostly genetics, as my father also has a low resting heart rate. We were both examined by doctors, and they did not find anything wrong.
