The best time to find your resting heart rate is in the morning after a good night's sleep and before you get out of bed. Typically, an adult's resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. However, for people who are physically fit, it's generally lower. Also, resting heart rate usually rises with age.

Answer: In the morning right after you wake up.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have not exerted yourself which means you have a more accurate reading. You want to test it multiple times throughout the week though to get a base resting rate though.

Hope this helps!
