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 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.
