- Check pulse rate by counting beats for one minute. For the resting heart rate, sit quietly for 10 minutes before measuring.
- Pulse points include: neck, wrists, temple and behind the knee. Do not use your thumb since it has its own pulse. If using the neck, don’t press too hard since you can slow the heart down.
