Definition: Resting heart rate (RHR) is the number of times your heart beats per minute while you are at complete rest. This is typically measured when you first wake up in the morning before you get out of bed. Standard Range: For most adults, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). Factors that can influence RHR: Age: As you get older, your resting heart rate may slightly increase. Fitness Level: Highly trained athletes can have resting heart rates as low as 40 bpm. Medications: Some medications, such as beta-blockers, can lower your resting heart rate. Stress and Anxiety: Stress and anxiety can increase your heart rate. Dehydration: Dehydration can also increase your heart rate. Medications: Certain medications can affect your heart rate. Underlying Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism or heart disease, can affect your resting heart rate. Why is RHR Important? Indicator of Overall Health: Your resting heart rate can be an indicator of your overall cardiovascular health. Tracking Fitness Progress: Monitoring your RHR can help you track your fitness progress over time. A lower resting heart rate often indicates improved cardiovascular fitness. Identifying Potential Health Issues: A consistently high or low resting heart rate may be a sign of an underlying medical condition and should be discussed with your doctor. How to Check Your RHR: Find your pulse: You can find your pulse at your wrist (radial artery) or neck (carotid artery). Count your beats: Count the number of beats for 30 seconds and multiply by 2 to get your beats per minute. Repeat: For a more accurate reading, take your pulse for a full minute and average the results of two or three measurements.
