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
Avoid using your thumb to take your pulse as the thumb will often has its own pulse, which will make it difficult to record your actual heart rate pulse. Keep your fingers on your inner wrist and count the number of beats for 6 seconds. Multiply that number by 10 and you have your heart rate for 60 seconds.
