In this short video, Eric Roberts explains that a fitter individual typically has a lower resting heart rate because the heart works more efficiently. He notes that the average resting heart rate falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute, and suggests aiming for a healthier range of 50‑60 bpm. He then outlines three concrete actions to achieve this: (1) perform one hour per week of Zone 2 cardio—low‑intensity exercise at 60‑70% of max heart rate such as incline treadmill walking, weighted‑vest walking, rowing, or cycling; (2) avoid eating food or drinking alcohol within three hours of bedtime; and (3) practice 5‑10 minutes daily of deep belly breathing, inhaling through the nose, expanding the stomach, and exhaling through the mouth, to promote relaxation. He ends with a casual encouragement to follow for more tips.
