The easiest and fastest way is to find a pulse point on your body and measure it using a watch or clock for 30 or 60 seconds. The easiest pulse point for you to measure yourself is on the thumb side of your wrist. Gently place your index, middle, and ring finger over this area until you feel your pulse. Using a watch or clock count the pulsating sensation you feel for 30 seconds and multiple that number by 2, or count for a full minute or 60 seconds. This measurement is known as your bpm (beats per minute) or your heart rate per minute/resting heart rate. It is also essential that you take your measurement in a resting state to get the correct results.
