A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute.
How do I calculate beats per minute?
- Rest quietly for 10 minutes.
- Gently place 2 fingers (not your thumb) on the inside of your wrist, below your thumb.
- Count the beats for 30 seconds.
- Double this number to get the number of beats per minute (bpm).
Is 50 beats per minute a good heart rate?
The normal range is between 50 and 100 beats per minute. If your resting heart rate is above 100, it's called tachycardia; below 60, and it's called bradycardia. Increasingly, experts pin an ideal resting heart rate at between 50 to 70 beats per minute.
