To take your pulse, use a watch that shows seconds.
1. Hold the wrist with your right hand, and move the first two fingers of your right hand until you can feel the pulse just under your thumb on the left wrist.
2. Count the number of beats that occur during a sixty-second interval.
To get the ‘resulting pulse’, you should do this first thing in the morning, while sitting in a relaxed position. When exercising, it is important to count your pulse immediately upon stopping because heart rate begins to slow down very quickly. It should only take 5 seconds to count your heart rate; so the whole procedure will be completed in 15 seconds.
