It simply means that you are more and more fit. Like a normal person would have between 60-100, while athletes have lower beats per minute, meaning it takes lesser heart beats for there body to get blood to all the parts of the body.

depends. average HR (heart rate) is 60-100 bpm (beats per minute) if its close like 50+ that's fine, that's why they call it an average. but lower could mean your in really great shape as long as its not in the 30's or it could mean your heart is sick.

As you exercise it is natural for your resting heart to be lower. Your heart becomes more effiecient and does not need to pump as fast.

Normal resting heart rate for 45 year old male?

Resting heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute when it's at rest. The best time to find your resting heart rate is in the morning after a good night's sleep and before you get out of bed. The average resting heart rate for an adult is 60-80 beats per minute. However, for people who are physically fit, it's generally lower. Also, resting heart rate usually rises with age. - From the American Heart Association.
