A normal resting heart rate for adults is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (BPM).
Well-trained athletes often have lower resting heart rates, sometimes as low as 40 BPM, because their hearts pump blood more efficiently. During exercise, heart rate can climb to 170 BPM or higher depending on intensity and age.
Several factors affect resting heart rate, including fitness level, stress, medications, caffeine intake, and body position. A consistently high or low resting heart rate may warrant a discussion with your doctor.
