To check your heart rate, you can easily find your pulse at your wrist. This method is simple and convenient for most people.

How to Find Your Pulse at the Wrist

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Position Your Hand: Put one of your hands out so you're looking at your palm.
2. Locate Your Pulse: Use the index finger and middle finger of your other hand and place the pads of these fingers on the inside of your wrist, just below the base of your thumb.
3. Feel the Pulse: Press lightly and you should feel the pulse.
4. Count the Beats: Once you've found your pulse, continue to feel it for about 20-30 seconds to determine the heart rate.

Important Considerations

• Light Pressure: Make sure to use light pressure when feeling for your pulse; pressing too hard can obscure the pulse.
• Time Measurement: While feeling the pulse for 20-30 seconds is sufficient, a full minute will give a more accurate measure of your heart rate.
• Regularity: Pay attention to the regularity of the beats as well, as an irregular pulse can sometimes indicate a problem.
