It all depends on your level of fitness. A normal resting heart rate should be between 60-99 beats/min. However, very fit individuals, such as long distance runners, bikers, or swimmers, can have extremely low resting heart rates which is completely normal for their level of fitness. Sometimes as low as 30 or 40 beats/min.

In the morning upon waking before getting out of bed or after sitting or laying for 10 minutes. Just make sure if you do it many days in a row, you do it the same method around the same time. Remember food, drugs and situations can change the rate. This rate will be a range so you have to look for trends where it is suddenly much higher or lower than your "normal".

The best time to check your resting heart rate is after you have been sitting down for 5 minutes. The best time to check your active heart rate is after 5 minutes of cardio activity.
