What Is Your RHR – Resting Heart Rate

There is a simple way of finding out what your RHR is. If you have a heart monitor watch it will do this for you., but you can also do this manually. Checking your RHR can be done manually, just place the top of your index, second, and third fingers on the palm side of your other wrist, just below where your thumb meets your wrist. (This sounds more tricky than it is, but focus and give it a try).

To get an idea of how your heart is working, on a normal day to day basis or during a workout, you need to know what your RHR is. RHR stands for resting heart rate. And as it implies it is the amount of times your heart beats when it is in rest mode, or when you are relaxed and not under any physical or mental strain.

It is quite easy to determine what your RHR is. If you have a heart monitor watch it will do this for you., but you don’t one. Checking your RHR can be done manually, just put the top of your index, second, and third fingers on the palm side of your other wrist, just below where your thumb meets your wrist. (This sounds more difficult than it is, but focus and give it a try).

Press down lightly and you will begin to feel the throb of your heart. If you don’t you are either pressing too hard, too gently or you are dead. Now with a watch or clock beside you, follow the minute hand, and count how many times your heart beats in 60 seconds. To make this even simpler, just count how many times your heart beats in ten seconds and multiply that by six to translate that figure into your RHR.  You do have to be calm and peaceful when you do this test. Sit down, breathe deeply and chill before you begin your count.

Remember that stress, worry, poor health and altitude can upset your pulse. So it is best to do a pulse check several times over a few days to get an accurate recording.

Using a heart monitor watch makes this exercise a lot easier, it is just the click of a button, but as you can see above you do not need one to get your RHR.
