This website will help you measure your heart rate online, in beats per minute (BPM), without using an actual heart rate monitoring device. Based on your age and maximum heart rate (HRmax), it will also determine your heart rate training zone.
How to use?
To begin measuring your heart rate, follow these easy steps:
Enter your age.
With one hand, feel your pulse by placing your index and middle fingers on your lower neck, on either side of the windpipe. Press lightly until you feel a pulse.
With the other hand, click the heart icon each time you feel a beat. You can also tap the spacebar.
Your average beats per minute (BPM) will be displayed and the indicator will show your current training zone.
What is heart rate?
Heart rate (or pulse) is the number of times your heart beats in a minute, typically expressed in beats per minute (BPM). Your heart rate increases or decreases based on your body's need to absorb oxygen. Your heart rate when sleeping is typically lower than when walking or running.
Emotional changes can also increase your heart rate.
The heart rate is used by medical professionals to help in the diagnosis of medical conditions. It is also used by individuals who want to gain maximum efficiency from their training and monitor their fitness level.
How can I check my pulse?
Checking the pulse at the wrist Checking the pulse at the neck
You can feel the pulse by pressing lightly on a blood vessel close to the skin's surface. Always use your index and middle fingers, as your thumb's pulse might give incorrect readings. The two most common points for checking the pulse are the neck and the wrist.
To check the pulse at the neck, place your index and middle fingers on your lower neck, on either side of the windpipe. Press lightly until you feel a pulse.
To check the pulse at your wrist, turn the palm side of your hand facing up. Place your index and middle fingers of your opposite hand on your wrist, approximately one inch below the base of your hand. Press down until you feel the pulse.
What is the maximum heart rate (HRmax)?
The maximum heart rate (HRmax) is the maximum number of times your heart can beat in a minute, and it depends on your age. HRmax is important for determining your heart rate training zone.
The most common method to calculate the maximum heart rate is: HRmax = 220 - age
What is the resting heart rate (HRrest)?
The resting heart rate (HRrest) is the heart rate when you are resting. In adults, the resting heart rate is typically between 60 and 100 BPM.
Athletes may have a resting heart rate below 60 BPM. To measure your resting heart rate, you must have been resting for at least 10 minutes before taking your pulse.
