Get comfortable, place your fingers on your wrist or neck, and count your heartbeats for 20 seconds.
How many beats did you count?
Your resting heart rate (RHR) is the number of times your heart beats per minute when you're completely at rest. It's a key indicator of your cardiovascular fitness and overall health. A lower RHR typically indicates better cardiovascular conditioning and more efficient heart function.
For the most accurate reading, measure your RHR first thing in the morning while lying in bed, before getting up or having caffeine. You should be calm, relaxed, and haven't exercised recently. Avoid measuring after stress, illness, or consuming stimulants.
Adults: 60-100 bpm is considered normal, with 60-80 bpm being optimal for most people.
Athletes: Often have RHRs between 40-60 bpm due to superior cardiovascular conditioning.
Factors: Age, fitness level, medications, and genetics all influence your RHR.
