To check your heart rate, locate your pulse either on your wrist (radial artery), neck (carotid artery), or chest (over the heart). Using your index and middle fingers, gently press on the pulse point and count the number of beats for 15 seconds. Multiply this number by 4 to get your heart rate in beats per minute. Another option is to use a heart rate monitor or smartwatch with a heart rate sensor for a more accurate and convenient measurement.
