How do I calculate my normal heart rate?

Answer 1

Your pulse rate is your heart rate.

When you exercise, your pulse changes. Count your pulse after jogging or after climbing stairs. Your pulse always increases after exercise. When you wake up from sleep, your pulse rate is 72 minutes per minute. You can count your pulse where the artery is at the surface. This is called the pulse point. You can feel your pulse for a minute with the help of a watch. If you're not sure, count your pulse rate twice for two minutes and take an average.

To calculate your normal heart rate, you can follow these steps:

Rest for at least 10-15 minutes.
Find your pulse by placing your index and middle fingers on your wrist, just below the thumb.
Count the number of beats you feel within 60 seconds.
This number is your resting heart rate, which is considered your normal heart rate when you're at rest.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
