obviously you know this is too high as you are no fool & train for competitions.
The best cardio is on a bike at a moderate to high intensity, in other words good old "Fartlek" training..mix it up
just my opinion but knowing you ..you´re probably taking the piss  ;)
No, BP is genuine reading, I gave blood as well last week so that normally drops it a bit
My normal BP while I was dieting was 125/73 or thereabouts
Its the extra weight and water retention
My Kidney function was 54 last bloods, that was of a creatinine reading, that would be high due to training and what I was taking

My lowest ever kidney reading was 45, that was about 6 years ago after I competed, it went back up to 84 3 months later

I've been a competitive cyclist for over 20 years. My resting pulse before I started training was about 60 bpm. Currently it is about 60 bpm and I ride 5 days a week. So there's that.

Resting heart rate is more affected by lack of sleep, illness, bad habits (drinking, smoking, etc.) than anything else. if you are overweight it will drop when you lean out.

I think my lowest pulse was 52 but i was training most days with interval training in the Gym.
I cycle nowadays for cardio but not like a competitive cyclist like you, i just do my thing & it works.
Basics, uphill routes hard & sprints.
Of course i take medication which does lower my heart rate somewhat so maybe i´m cheating  :)
but my heart rate has always been regardless in the 52-54 range.

this data is useless if you're skinny.

anyone can get a low resting heart rate at a lower bodyweight. Problem is when you try combine with size and strength

that's right. Neither are there any really fat people in elderly homes.

All humans do best in slimming down in their 50's, at most late 50's
