A normal heart rate is 60-100 beats/minute. It is less if you exercise and more if you don’t. You may want to consider regular physical activity. Exercise is anything aerobic, repetitive and maintained for longer than 20 minutes. Walking is easiest and probably best. Exercising every day should be your goal. It will help your back as well.
