Concentration Maze Game
Instructions:
1) Take your Heart Rate by feeling your pulse on your wrist.
2) Count how many beats in 30 seconds then multiply by 2 to get your beats per minute.
3) Then play the concentration game and get to level 5.
4) When you get to level five take your heart rate again.
5) Leave your Name and your heart rate before the test and after the test as a comment to this blog post.
How To Measure Your Pulse
Taking your pulse is easy. It requires no special equipment, however, a watch with a second hand or digital second counter is very helpful.
1. Turn the palm side of your hand facing up.
2. Place your index and middle fingers of your opposite hand on your wrist, approximately 1 inch below the base of your hand.
3. Press your fingers down in the grove between your middle tendons and your outside bone. You should feel a throbbing - your pulse.
4. Count the number of beats for 10 seconds, then multiply this number by 6. This will give you your heat rate for a minute.
Example:
If you count 12 beats in the span of 10 seconds, multiply 12 X 6 = 72.
This means your Heart Rate or pulse, is 72 (or 72 beats per minute).
Another popular way to measure pulse rate is by measuring it at the neck (carotid pulse). This is especially convenient during exercise. The formula is the same as above, however, when taking the pulse at the neck, place your fingertips gently on one side of your neck, below your jawbone and halfway between your main neck muscles and windpipe.
Taking your pulse upon rising in the morning, or after sitting without activity for about 10 minutes, is know as your Resting Heart Rate.
