Body

A normal adult resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. The population average sits around 70 bpm, with women averaging a few beats higher than men. Endurance athletes often rest at 40 to 60 bpm because a trained heart pumps more blood per beat. Resting heart rate is a simple fitness marker that costs nothing to measure.
