Check your heart rate
To be able to check your heart rate, you first need to know how to measure it. The
easiest way is to press your fingertips against the artery in your neck, between your
muscles and your airway. Count the number of pulses per 10 seconds and multiply it by
6. This will give you your heart rate per minute.
Exercise within your limits
