Do you remember what a tendon is? Where is the achilles tendon?

To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. To check your pulse at your wrist, place two fingers between the bone and the tendon over your radial artery — which is located on the thumb side of your wrist.     When you feel your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply this number by four to calculate your beats per minute.
