Resting heart rate
Resting heart rate (the number of beats per minute) should be taken after a few minutes (2-5 minutes) upon waking whilst still in bed. Give you body some time to adjust to the change from sleeping before taking your pulse. Changes to resting heart rates can indicate adaptation processes, or just a normal responses to the previous days training load.
Resting heart rates can also be affected by ensuing illness and overtraining. Once a normal resting heart rate has been established it becomes easy to determine your physiological state. If your resting heart rate is 10 beats per minute or greater above normal then please let your coach know, and if it persists you may want to see your doctor.
As you get fitter, your resting heart rate should decrease. This is due to the heart getting more efficient at pumping blood around the body, so at rest more blood can be pumped around with each beat, therefore less beats per minute are needed.

Exercise heart rate
It is possible to use the manual method for heart rate measurement during exercise, though better results can be obtained using a heart rate monitor or similar device.
The heart rate during exercise is an indicator of intensity. As you get fitter, your heart rate should decrease for any given exercise workload.
Maximum heart rate
Maximum heart rate is the highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) when exercising maximally. This can be measured during a maximal exercise test. As the heart rate will begin to decrease as soon as exercise is completed, maximum heart rate is best measured using a heart rate monitor or electro-cardiogram (EEG).
Maximum heart rate can also be predicted using a formula. Take your age away from 220. This figure is only an estimate, and is usually accurate to within 10 beats of your true maximum heart rate. See this max HR table.
You can use the percentage of maximum heart rate as an indicator of exercise intensity. Many exercise programs use percentage heart rates to set training loads.
What should it be?
Normal resting heart rates ranges anywhere from 40 beats per minute up to 100 beats per minute. Ideally you want to be between 60-90 beats per minute, with the average resting heart rate for a man being 70 beats per minute, and for a woman 75 beats per minute.
During exercise, your heart rate will depends on the intensity of exercise, your fitness level, and your maximum heart rate (which will depend on your age). Use this table to help determine your training heart rate level.

I've always understood that a resting heartbeat - a healthy one - should be about 60 beats per minute.

In adults it is 60-100. If you are very physically fit and do a lot of aerobic activity, it could be lower because your heart pumps more effectively during those activities.
