∙ 14y agoTaking your pulse is easy. It requires no special equipment, however, a watch with a second hand or digital second counter is very helpful.
- Turn the palm side of your hand facing up.
- Place your index and middle fingers of your opposite hand on your wrist, approximately 1 inch below the base of your hand.
- Press your fingers down in the grove between your middle tendons and your outside bone. You should feel a throbbing - your pulse.
- Count the number of beats for 10 seconds, then multiply this number by 6. This will give you your heat rate for a minute.
