Your calculated resting pulse, also known as resting heart rate, is the number of times your heart beats per minute when you are at rest. For adults, a normal resting pulse typically ranges between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Athletes or very physically fit individuals might have lower resting pulses, sometimes between 40 and 50 beats per minute. To measure your resting pulse, you can:
- Use your index and middle fingers to find your pulse either on your wrist (radial artery) or neck (carotid artery).
- Count the number of beats in 15 seconds and multiply by 4 to get beats per minute (or count beats for 30 seconds and multiply by 2 for better accuracy).
- Ensure you measure when you are calm and rested, ideally after sitting quietly for about 5 minutes, and not immediately after exercise or consuming caffeine.
So, your "calculated resting pulse" would depend on the count you obtained following this method, typically falling within the 60-100 bpm range for most adults. If you provide your measured pulse count, I can help calculate your exact resting pulse. Otherwise, this is the standard range and method for calculating it.
