Your resting heart rate is the heart pumping the lowest amount of blood you need because youâre not exercising. If youâre sitting or lying and youâre calm, relaxed and arenât ill, your heart rate is normally between 60 (beats per minute) and 100 (beats per minute). But a heart rate lower than 60 doesnât necessarily signal a medical problem. It could be the result of taking a drug such as a beta blocker.
You can use a heart rate zone of less than 50% of Max Heart Rate to guide your warm-up. As a general guideline, a warm-up can be something as simple as walking for 5 to 10 minutes or just a slower version of the exercise you are going to perform.Additionally, take 5-10 minutes after your exercise to do a cool-down.low down your movement, stretch and try to get your heart rate back down to less than 50% of Max Heart Rate. Our ACSM-certified exercise physiologists can design an appropriate fitness program for you through a Preventive Exercise session.
