Find your pulse..

To find your pulse/resting hear rate

First thing in the morning, when you have not been alarmed and awoken from the alarm clock.  Take the following steps.

1.  Place the tips of your index and second fingers on your lower neck, on either side of your windpipe.

2.  Press lightly with your fingers until you feel the blood pulsing beneath your fingers. You might need to move your fingers around slightly up or down until you feel the pulsing.

3. Use a watch with a second hand, or look at a clock with a second hand.

4. Count the beats you feel for 60 seconds. 

Do this for 3 mornings and then average (add together the 3 numbers then divide them by 3) them out and the number you get is your Average Resting Hear Rate.
