Resting heartrate baseline

To establish your resting heart rate baseline values. This must be done when you wake up in the morning, before you get out of the bed. Food, activity -etc  can affect your results.
Place 2 fingers on the opposite hand(palms up , thumb side ). Once you fill your pulse count for 15 seconds then multiply that number x4. Do this for 3 days , and then divide this number by 3 to get your average.Check weekly and if it is higher , then something is stressing your body: work, exercise, not getting enough sleep. Find out and make changes. The thought is the lower your resting heart rate is the better. Your heart is working more efficent , and even more stronger than the average. It doesn't have to work hard to do its job.
