# Resting heart rate

Resting heart rate is your heart rate at complete rest, usually measured on waking.

Typical adult values fall between about 60 and 100 beats per minute, and fit people are often lower. A rise of several beats above your usual can follow poor sleep, illness, alcohol or heavy training.

Also called: RHR.
