Record the number of heartbeats in each 15-second period for two full minutes after exercising.- APEX

How to measure your recovery heartrate and what it means:

1. Accelerate your heartrate through running, biking, or other method to an anerobic level (a pace you can do for only 20-30 seconds... such as a full sprint)
2. Measure the heart rate with a monitor at the end of the sprint.
3. Recover for 60 seconds by walking or biking slowly (do not stop moving!)
4. Measure the heart rate after 60 seconds and subtract that number from the peak.

The key:

POOR less than 12 Beats Per Minute (BPM) recovery
FAIR 12-20
Good 20-30
Excellent 30-40
Over 40 is outstanding.

The recovery rate is important because this is a measure of the soundness of our cardiovascular system and not just our heart health.

A recovery rate of greater than 35 BPM indicates almost no risk of sudden death from Heart disease!

12 or less increases the risk dramatically. People with this issue need to consult with their Doctor before exercising!

Your heart rate will increase, but not by something like 30 minutes. I'm not sure exactly what you want to know, but I hope this may help a tiny bit(:

There's no telling, it'll depend on how fit you are, how old you are, and how hard you exercise.
