Now youâre ready to determine your target training heart rate. As you exercise, periodically: Take your pulse on the inside of your wrist, on the thumb side. Use the tips of your first two fingers (not your thumb) to press lightly over the blood vessels on your wrist. Count your pulse for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 to find your beats per minute. You want to stay between 50 percent to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. This range is your target heart rate. Know Your Numbers
Measuring your pulse can provide a reading about how fast blood is pumping through your arteries. This is the easiest way to get a quick reading on heart health, according to the Mayo Clinic. How can you get normal pulse rates, women? Look for a rate between 60 and 100 bpm, or beats per minute. The faster your pulse rate, the harder your heart is working, the Mayo Clinic says. A pulse rate that's too fast or too slow can indicate potential health issues, especially if there's no apparent reason for the change in your heart rate.
