Checking your pulse allows you to determine your heart rate without any special equipment. All you have to do is take your index and middle finger side by side (thumb is not recommended as it has its own pulse) and place them over your wrist to find your radial pulse and underneath your jaw bone to find your carotid pulse. Once you have found your pulse‚ record how many pulses in a minute.
