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
How To Measure Your Pulse. 1  Turn the palm side of your hand facing up. 2  Place your index and middle fingers of your opposite hand on your wrist, approximately 1 inch below the base of your hand. 3  Press your fingers down in the grove between your middle tendons and your outside bone. You should feel a throbbing - your pulse. Count the number of beats for 10 seconds, then multiply this number by 6. This will give you your heat rate for a minute. Example: If you count 12 beats in the span of 10 seconds, multiply 12 X 6 = 72. This means your Heart Rate or pulse, is 72 (or 72 beats per minute). Another popular way to measure pulse rate is by measuring it at the neck (carotid pulse). This is especially convenient during exercise.
