Finding your pulse. You can find your pulse in places where an artery passes close to your skin, such as your wrist or neck. To find your pulse in your wrist: 1  hold out one of your hands, with your palm facing upwards and your elbow slightly bent. 2  put the first finger (index) and middle finger of your other hand on the inside of your wrist, at the base of your thumb.

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.
