The two easiest sites are the inside of the wrist (the radial artery) or the side of the neck just above the collarbones (carotid artery). Whichever one you can find easily and reliably works - there isn't a single best one.

What exercise helps your heart?

Extended periods of cardio, such as running, jogging, cycling, swimming, and walking, to name a few. The heart is a muscle, and follows the same principals as other muscle groups. The longer and harder you work the muscle, the stronger and healthier it becomes. As long as your pulse is significantly elevated during your exercise, you are working your heart. The best way to check if your workout regimen is working your heart is by taking your resting heart rate every day. If it gradually gets lower, then it's working. The lower your resting heart rate is, the stronger your heart is. An hour of cardio every day is a good place to start.
