your heart rests when you are relaxing or sitting down without moving like for example it would rest when you are taking a nap but if you are say jogging it wouldnt be resting

Answer:

When the heart beats, it pumps blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. But in between beats, the heart muscle relaxes as it fills with blood. It relaxes only for a moment after each contraction, but that still counts as resting
