What is a Resting Heart Rate?

Resting heart rate (RHR) refers to the number of time your heart beats per minute when you are at rest. This means your heart is pumping the lowest amount of blood needed to supply oxygen throughout your body. A normal RHR ranges between 60 to 100 bpm (beats per minute).

How to measure your resting heart rate?

The best time to check your resting heart rate is in the morning before getting out of bed. To check your pulse, you can do it two ways:
• Place your index and middle fingers on the opposite wrist just below the thumb
• Place your index and middle fingers on your lower neck, just below the windpipe

Count the beats in 15 seconds. Multiply this by 4 to get your resting heart rate.
