What is your ideal resting pulse?

The average resting heart rate is 70-90 beats per minute. The
heart of a physically fit person, with a resting heart rate of 50,
beats 9,512,000 times less per year than an average person's heart
with a resting heart rate of 70 beats per minute. The better shape
you are in, the lower your resting heart rate will be.

What is a resting pulse?

A resting pulse is your heart rate when you are resting. Our
heart rates vary with different levels of activity, and when we are
active, our heart rate rises. The resting heart rates vary from
individual to individual, and can be an indication of general
health. That's why we see medical professionals checking heart
rates when evaluating patients. Here is a general standard of pulse
rate (PR). Resting Pulse Rate PR < 40 BMP - Below
healthy resting heart rates. PR 40-60 BPM - Resting heart rate for
sleeping. PR 60-100 BPM - Healthy adult resting heart rate. PR 100
BPM - 220 BPM - Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not
acceptable if resting heart rate. PR > 220 BPM -
Abnormally high heart rate.
