You decide: Lincoln joked that a person's legs should be long enough to reach the ground. I've examined elite athletes with heart rates below fifty, and excited teens with resting heart rates over 100. Their hearts are worknig. Just because you can measure something doesn't mean it's worth measuring. Care for your heart -- fitness, good habits, checkups -- and the beats per minute will be right for you.
