What is a healthy heart rate at rest?

A resting pulse is your heart rate when you are resting. Our heart rates vary with different levels of activity, and when we are active, our heart rate rises. The resting heart rates vary from individual to individual, and can be an indication of general health. That's why we see medical professionals checking heart rates when evaluating patients. Here is a general standard of pulse rate (PR). Resting Pulse Rate PR < 40 BMP - Below healthy resting heart rates. PR 40-60 BPM - Resting heart rate for sleeping. PR 60-100 BPM - Healthy adult resting heart rate. PR 100 BPM - 220 BPM - Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heart rate. PR > 220 BPM -Abnormally high heart rate.
