      It varies form person to person and also depending on what you’re doing. The average resting heart beat is about 60 beats per minute. If you’re doing some really strenuous exercise it can be as high as 160-180 beats per minute.

      The average human heart, beating at 72 beats per minute, will beat approximately 2.5 billion times during an average 66 year lifespan.
