Where do you place your fingers when checking your pulse?

Place your index and middle fingers on the underside of your wrist, between the bone and tendons, or on the side of your neck, just under the jawline. Avoid using your thumb, as it has its own pulse that can interfere with accuracy. Count the beats for 15 seconds and then multiply by 4 to get your heart rate per minute.
