      This depends on the age and health of the person. Below is possible beats per minute while they’re at rest meaning they’re not exercise or moving around much.

      In a baby: Their heart can beat 140 times per minute.
      In a child: Their heart can beat 80-100 times per minute
      In a adult: Their heart can beat 60-80 times per minute.
      In an old person: Their heart can beat 50-65 times per minute.
