1. TARGET HEART RATE
An individual will measure heart rate for the following reasons:
Medical professionals to diagnosis or track medical condition.
Check general health.
Individuals who want to monitor their heart rate during a workout.
-You will get the most out of an activity if you stay within your target heart rate zone.

2. Step One Find Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
Use your index and middle finger
DO NOT USE your thumb, it has a pulse of its own.
Place them on your wrist, just above the base of the thumb.
Or place the tips of the fingers on your neck, just on either side of the center, an inch below your chin.
