Is It Normal To Have A Average Resting Heart Rate Of 100-114?
Is a average resting heart rate of 100-114ish bad. I m a 17yr old male. I ve been a pretty lazy and not eating healthy recently since school let out. But I ve been getting back into being active and eating better over the last few days. This is when I realized an estimate of my resting heart rate. Thanks

It s better that your heart rate be less than 100, as along term increased heart rate is not good for heart. But however as you say you had a lazy life and so now when you start getting active the heart who is not used to work much will have higher rates to compensate which should settle in a month a or two, don't worry for the same and continue with a good and healthy life.
