The average resting heart rate is 70-90 beats per minute. The heart of a physically fit person, with a resting heart rate of 50, beats 9,512,000 times less per year than an average person's heart with a resting heart rate of 70 beats per minute. The better shape you are in, the lower your resting heart rate will be.

Resting pulse rate is the amount of heart beats per minute while the body is at rest. 'At rest' can be lying down, sitting still of long periods, or sleeping. The usual resting pulse rate is between 60-100 BPM.

It varies from person to person, athletes will have a fairly low pulse so it really does depend on how fit you are and what you are actually doing.
