That's OK.

the normal resting heartrate varies from person to person but is generally between 60-90 beats per min. yours sounds ok what is it when you are active? mine is generally about 75bpm when resting and up to about 100-120 when active/exercising.
i wouldnt worry too much unless you are getting breathless easily or having chest pains when you are active.
