Your resting heart rate should be between 60-100 beats per minute. If you are an athlete or train a lot, your resting heart rate could be lower. That is an average. Resting heart rate above 150 is tachycardia (fast). During exercise, you should shoot for between 40-60% of your heart rate max which is generally estimated by subtracting your age from 220. Example a 20 year old (220-20=200) would have a max heart rate of 200. You should be careful when starting exercise not to get your heart rate too close to max.

If you are an adult your pulse should be between 60-100 beats per minute.

However, if you are an athlete, or are very physically active person, it is normal for you pulse to be lower than 60 beats per/min.

I was in a Med. Class and there was a girl who ran in competitions and had an average pulse of around 50-55 beats per/minute.

The normal heart rate for adults is between 60-100 beats per minute. However, medications and certain conditions can raise and lower your normal pulse rate. Additionally, people who are very physically fit sometimes have a much lower resting heart rate. See your doctor to determine what a proper heart rate is for yourself personally.

It varies by a number of factors, but most recommendations are 50-85% of your maximum safe heart rate, which is defined by 220 minus your age.

The lower half of that range burns more fat during the workout, while the upper half burns more carbohydrates. However, the long term metabolism spike (which can last up to a day or so after the exercise session), if working in the carbohydrate burning zone, will be more effective than working out in the fat-burning zone. Most heart rate guides classify this upper zone as the cardio training zone, meaning it places more strain on your heart but also strengthens it (just like any other muscle). For people without heart conditions, this is a healthy thing to do, so I would suggest working at your peak heart rate. If you do have a heart condition, I'd suggest targeting the lower range, assuming your doctor has cleared you for intense exercise in the first place. Last thing you want is for a heart anyurism to blow up because you decided to go for a run.
