Resting Heart Rate

Resting Heart Rate (RHR) is the number of times your heart beats per minute when you are at rest, such as sitting or lying calmly. It reflects how efficiently your heart pumps blood and how well your cardiovascular system functions. A normal RHR for adults typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute, with lower rates often indicating better cardiovascular fitness. Factors like age, activity level, stress, and overall health can influence RHR. Monitoring it can help assess your health status and physical fitness over time.
