    2. Log the readingPick the date, enter beats per minute and an optional note, then save.
    3. Read the trendCompare the 7-day average with your baseline and watch for alerts.

    Understanding your resting pulse

    Resting heart rate reflects how hard your heart works when you are calm. Daily values bounce around, so the 7-day rolling average gives a more reliable picture than any single morning.

    This logger is for personal tracking only and is not a medical device. Talk to a healthcare professional about readings that worry you, especially with dizziness, chest pain or shortness of breath.

    Under 60 bpm

    Common in endurance athletes; low without training may need review.

    60-100 bpm

    Typical adult resting range.

    Over 100 bpm

    Tachycardia at rest; see a doctor if it persists.

    Resting heart rate FAQ

    When should I measure resting heart rate?

    First thing in the morning, before getting out of bed or having caffeine. Count for 60 seconds or use a wearable's overnight resting value consistently.

    What is a normal resting heart rate?

    For adults 60 to 100 beats per minute is the usual reference range. Fit people often sit between 40 and 60. Persistent readings above 100 or below 40 with symptoms should be checked by a doctor.

    Why does my resting heart rate go up?

    Poor sleep, stress, illness, alcohol, heat, dehydration and hard training can all raise it for a few days. A rise of 5 or more beats above your baseline is a common cue to rest.

    How is the baseline worked out?

    It is the average of your readings in the 30 days before the latest 7-day window, so this week is compared with your recent normal.

    Can I import data?

    Yes. Import a CSV with a date column (YYYY-MM-DD) and a bpm column. Existing days are updated.
