How to check your pulse:

To assess your resting pulse rate in your wrist, sit down for at least five minutes beforehand.

Take off any jewelry or watches and hold your arm out, palm facing up and elbow slightly bent.

With your other hand place your index and middle finger on your wrist, at the base of your thumb. You can adjust the position of your fingers, slightly, until you feel your pulse.

Count for 30 seconds and then multiply your total by two to get your Heart Rate in BPM (beats per minute).
Please send your photographs to;
