Kathleen Ash is anything but a normal athlete. She may resemble your average women’s hockey player, but there is something a little different: she has a resting heart rate of 38 beats per minute. The average person’s’ resting heart rate is somewhere between 60-100 BPM.
“Essentially they call it the athletic heart and that I am in too good of shape,” Ash said.
She works out every day by herself on top of attending practices. This can total up to three training sessions a day. She truly enjoys working out and working out often. This is why her heart rate is so low because she is, literally, in such good shape.
