resting heart rate

Calm body's tempo

Resting heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute when the body is completely at rest, typically measured first thing in the morning before getting out of bed.

For most adults, a normal resting heart rate falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute, though athletes often have lower rates due to cardiovascular efficiency: Her resting heart rate dropped to 52 after months of training.
