What's a normal heart rate? Most adults have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40-60 bpm or lower. You should contact your GP if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120 bpm or below 40 bpm, although this could just be normal for you.
A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm), according to The Mayo Clinic. Women tend to have a slightly higher heart rate than men; the average resting heart rate in women is in the mid-70s, while it is only about 70 in men. normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm), according to The Mayo Clinic.
