    You can buy a heart rate monitor at most sporting good stores or you can take it the old fashion way. Find your pulse with a finger (not your thumb because you can feel your heart beat through your thumb and you’ll get an inaccurate reading) and count for six seconds then multiply the count of heart beats by ten. This will give you your beats per 60 seconds (one minute).

    Keep in mind that you won’t get an accurate reading of your heart rate until about 8-10 minutes into your workout.
