Your\nheart rate is how many times your heart beats in one minute. Knowing your heart\nrate is a crucial way to check in on your heart and be alerted to potential\nproblems.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

So\nhow do you know? Checking your pulse is an easy and quick way to get connected\nwith your body and stay heart healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Time Your Ticker<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

You can check your pulse by placing your pointer and middle fingers on the inside of your opposite wrist, just below the thumb. Another way is to feel for your windpipe, underneath the left side of your jaw. Once you can feel your pulse, count the number of beats you feel in 15 seconds and multiply that number by four to get your heart rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Next to Normal<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

In general, a normal adult heart rate is between\n60 and 100 beats per minute. But age, your typical fitness routine, your emotional\nstate, caffeine intake, and even whether you\u2019re sitting down or standing up can\naffect your heart rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Typically, a lower heart rate is an indicator of good health. If you are having consistently high numbers<\/a>, or symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or chest pain, it\u2019s time to visit a doctor.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Build a Baseline<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

No, not the bass line from Another One Bites the Dust<\/a>. Your resting heart rate is just that: your beats per minute while you\u2019re calm and sitting down. Figuring out your resting heart rate will help you realize when something isn\u2019t quite right.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Your\npulse is an important gauge on your heart health and always changing as you\nage. Check your pulse once a week and find your baseline.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Work your Workout<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Now that you know your heart rate, it\u2019s time to\nmake it work for you. Check your pulse throughout exercising and see if you can\nhit your target heart rate. Your age subtracted from 220 is your maximum heart\nrate. Your target heart rate for moderate exercise is 50% to 70% of your\nmaximum heart rate, and for vigorous exercise it\u2019s 70% to 85%. Work to\nconsistently stay in your target heart rate range while working out and see how\nthat translates to your resting levels. Lowering your heart rate can prevent\nobesity and improve your energy.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Listen to your heart and hear what it tells you. Checking your pulse tells you what\u2019s going on with your heart, and ways to help keep it beating. And for more reasons you\u2014or the women in your life\u2014should care about heart health, read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
