Exercise works the muscles and increases their demand for oxygen in the blood. The heart must pump harder to get more blood to the muscles to meet this extra demand.

The body knows it must pump the heart harder for several reasons. Firstly, the brain tells the heart that it is exercising, and so is likely to need more oxygen. Secondly, special sensory nerves can detect subtle changes in the blood, like low oxygen and acidity, that stimulates the heart.

How many times does a heartbeat in a minute while resting?

the always beats resting or not, if it stopped you would die. But assuming you mean how often does it beat during rest. Well that depends on how fit you are. Someone, like a runner, who does a lot of Cardio-vascular exorcise (gets the heart pumping fast) will have stronger heart muscles than some one who sits around all day. This means that their heart doesn't need to beat as fast as it can push more blood around the body in one pump than the other persons. for the average healthy (but not fit) man its 64-72 beats per minute at rest and for the Average healthy Woman around 72-80 BPM
