Resting heart rate is 60 to 100. With exercise ur heart increases even upto 150 bpm and will return to normal sometime after exercise.

Aerobic exercise will put your heart at stress and meanwhile reduces heart rate.. You can do combined isometric and isotonic exercise..

The so-called resting heart rate in a normal person is arbitrarily defined!
A rate of 70 to 80 is possibly reasonable; it’s never static.
It varies through out the day and night hovering around a mean of 70’s in the day hours and 50s in the nights.
Hence try and keep it low of 70 with fitness schedules of exercise regimen and can go up with exercise moderately say in 130 to 150.
All in all it’s a nice question to tackle and no sweet spot that one needs to achieve.
If it’s too long an answer- simply said keep it low with out medicines!

Normal resting heart rate is between 60-100. aerobic exercises are good for heart. Resting heart rate comes down with regular aerobic exercise.
