• Need HELP finding your pulse???

• How to take your pulse

  You can find your pulse in several places. Here are two of the easiest places to find it.
  • To find your pulse in your neckPut three fingers of your left hand onto your Adam's apple in your throat (that's the bit that sticks out and goes up and down when you swallow.)
    
    Feel gently to the side of it, and you will find your pulse beating (you can feel it going up and down).
  Or
  • To find your pulse in your wristHold your hand in front of you.
    
    Stick your thumb up in the air and turn the palm towards you.
    
    With the first two fingers of your other hand, stroke from the top of your thumb down the side until your fingers reach your wrist.
    
    Let your fingers slide downwards onto the inside of your wrist, and gently feel for your pulse.
    
    When you have found a steady beat, count how many beats in 15 seconds (use a watch or clock with a second hand).
    
    Times your score by 4, and that will tell you your pulse rate per minute.
