what's the average beat the heart should beat in one minute?

Answer 1

Normal is 60-100 beats per minute.

Answer 2

Normal heart rate is 60-90 beats per minute. The more athletic the person, the lower the heart rate.

Answer 3

It depends on whether the person you want to know about is an adult, adolescent or infant. I'm assuming adult so that's the information I'll put here. The average heart rate, or pulse, of an adult should be between 60-100. Below that is bad because that's bradycardia and above that is tachycardia which isn't good either.

If you want to check your heart rate then just take your pulse. If you don't know how, then turn your hand "upside down" so your palm is facing up and locate your radial artery...if you bend your hand back while it's palm up, the artery should be pretty visible. Press two fingers above (you can press them directly onto the artery but above is easier for me anyway) that artery and then just get a watch and count how many beats in 15 seconds then times that by 4.

You can also check your carotid pulse simply by pressing one or two fingers on either side of your trachea. That artery is so easy to detect that I'm almost sure you'd find it without explanation.

Answer 4

I say about 60 beats per minute .Mines about 58.

Answer 5

60 74 beats per min

Take your heart rate while exercising to know your limits
by Mike Adams

While exercising, it is important that you know and understand your body's limits. Follow these simple directions to calculate your healthy heart rate range.

* Make monitoring your heart rate an integral part of your workout routine.
* It's a safer, more effective way to exercise, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
* * Estimate your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220.
* * Determine your lower-limit exercise heart rate: multiply your maximum heart rate by 0.6.
* * Calculate your upper-limit exercise heart rate: multiply your maximum heart rate by 0.9.
* For most people, working out at the lower end of the heart rate range for a longer time is better than exercising at the higher end for a shorter period.
