If Bradley Wiggins is for real, 35 is fantastic. I’m with some of you people at 45 from exercise and a generally good diet. Attitude helps, too, but I don’t like “swagger”.

Big Deal… at my peak as a swimmer, my resting pulse rate was 32 beats per minute. I know for a fact that President Bush’s resting rate while in office was the same, 32 beats per minute, due to his mountain biking. The Surgeon General said that GW Bush was our most physically fit president ever.

A resting heart rate of 35 is surprising, but a lot of endurance athletes have that. World class endurance athletes could have a resting rate of 28 to 32 bpm.
