Is this a normal heart rate for me?
I am 20 years old, about 139 pounds, 5'9". Over a year ago I used to exercise quite regularly (as in 4 to 5 times or more a week) by running and weight lifting. I recently started running again to get back into shape and I was on an elliptical machine (basically a running machine, if you don't know what it is) and on a very easy resistance level. I just started running again 3 days ago, but noticed my heart rate on the machine today was at 190ish. The woman next to me was running at the same speed, but hers read 80. I know there's a difference between male and female when it comes to exercising, but this is an enormous gap. Is my heart rate normal for a relatively easy run?
