Heart or pulse rate

Your heart rate or pulse is the rate at which your heart beats, pumping blood through your body.

• To check your heart rate during exercise, stop in the middle of your exercise program to check and then adjust your activity level accordingly.
• Certain medications can interfere with your heart rate, talk to your doctor about monitoring your heart rate and what is normal for you.

Never use your thumb to check your heart rate as it has a pulse of its own
