Checking your wrist pulse is a simple and effective way to measure your heart rate. It’s a useful skill to have, especially if you’re involved in any kind of physical activity or if you have any concerns about your heart health.
To check your wrist pulse, place your index and middle fingers on the inside of your wrist, just below the base of your thumb. Apply gentle pressure until you feel your pulse. Once you’ve found your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds and multiply by four to get your heart rate in beats per minute.
