The idea of exercise is to increase your heart rate, which strengthens your heart. However, a physically-fit person will naturally have a lower heart rate, as their stronger heart will circulate blood more effectively.
Lance Armstrong, for example, was known to have a resting heart rate in the 40s (per minute), which would translate into a slower heartbeat during the long stretches of the Tour de France; certainly a factor in his record seven wins.
In addition, if your heart is beating too fast (see the formula in the link below) you can slow it down by reducing the intensity of your exercise, and/or by taking a short break.
