How do you calculate your heart rate?1. Using the tips of your index and middle

fingers, locate your carotid artery. Your carotid artery is located just below your jaw in the groove where your head and neck meet. Search around until you can feel a steady beat under the skin.

2. Use a clock or stopwatch to count your pulse for 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats in 10 seconds by six to get your heart rate.
