I thought we do approximately have the same number of heart beats in our life time. But when you jog or do a bunch of cardio your heart becomes more efficient so it beats less when sitting. Kinda evens out.
Ok, so lots of animals come in at around 1 billion heart beats. But humans are at least 2 to 3 times that and several other animals even more. So it’s not a lie out of whole cloth but it’s misleading. And what you mention is a key point: if you’re in good shape you’ll have a lower resting heart rate, which would be even at worst. And that’s just counting heart beats, but being fit adds loads of advantages in all aspects of your health.
