Heart Rate

Measure your resting heart rate (that is, your heart rate when not performing physical activity) by counting your pulse. Place your index and middle fingers firmly (not too tightly) on your wrist, and count the number of pulses over one minute. Record the number on a piece of paper. Do you think this number is higher or lower than average?
