c. 12 minutes

The recovery heart rate, the speed at which your heart rate returns to normal after exercise, is a good indicator of cardiovascular fitness. The general guideline is that if your heart rate is above 120 beats per minute (bpm) more than 12 minutes after cessation of exercise, the workout may have been too intense. It's important to note that individual recovery times can vary depending on fitness level, age, and the intensity of the exercise.
