The resting heart rate of a non-athlete should be between 60 - 80bpm (beats per minutes), taken while resting or relaxed, but awake. Typically, an athletic person has a lower heart rate; a slower resting rate indicates a fit cardiovascular system.

While exercising, the heart rate should be higher, although the target bpm fluctuates according to factors including age, gender, and fitness. Determining the target heart rate during exercise can use a number of differing methods and may be expressed in terms of a percentage of the maximum heart rate.
