A normal resting heart rate for adults typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm)

. Most healthy adults tend to have a resting heart rate between 55 and 85 bpm, with well-trained athletes often having lower rates around 40 to 50 bpm due to more efficient heart function

. Resting heart rate is measured when you are calm and not physically active, usually best checked first thing in the morning before getting out of bed

. Factors such as stress, anxiety, hormones, medication, and physical activity can influence your resting heart rate

. A resting heart rate consistently above 100 bpm (tachycardia) or below 60 bpm (bradycardia) in non-athletes may indicate an underlying health issue and should be evaluated by a doctor, especially if accompanied by symptoms like dizziness or shortness of breath

. In summary:

• Normal adult resting heart rate: 60–100 bpm
• Typical healthy adult range: 55–85 bpm
• Athletes: often 40–50 bpm
• Values outside 60–100 bpm may require medical attention if symptomatic
