Fitness Tip: Where to Find Your Pulse

Although you can find your pulse in several spots around the body, the best place is probably your neck. The pulse in the carotid artery (located next to the windpipe) is very pronounced.

To get your pulse, you can either hold it for 60 seconds, or take it for 10 seconds and multiply that number by 6 (for example, 20 beats in 10 seconds gives you 120 beats per minute).
