Brief Answer:
It's perfectly normal...

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Your resting heart rate is within normal range. You are reporting to exercise moderately thrice a week. So, it is normal to get such heart rates in people who are running moderate physical activity.

No need to worry as it is perfectly normal.
