You can measure your heart rate manually or use a digital device. Manual measurement involves feeling your pulse, while digital devices include smartwatches or fitness trackers.
Place your index and middle fingers on the pulse points, either on the inside of your wrist below your thumb or on the side of your neck just below the jawline.
Once you have found your pulse, start counting the beats for 15 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by 4 to get your heart rate per minute (bpm).
For an accurate reading, measure your heart rate when you're relaxed and sitting comfortably. Avoid measuring immediately after exercise or stress.
A normal heart rate for adults typically ranges from 60 to 100 bpm. If your heart rate is consistently above or below this range, consult a healthcare professional.
