Emerge CareWhat is a normal resting heart rate?
Typical resting heart rate ranges for adults, why fit people run lower, and which changes deserve attention.
For most adults, a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute is considered normal. Regular exercisers often sit well below that; trained hearts pump more blood per beat, so they need fewer beats.
A resting rate persistently above 100, persistently below 50 in someone who is not athletic, or a change accompanied by dizziness, fainting, or breathlessness is worth a clinician’s look.
