The formula for your resting heart rate is simple: it is the number of times your heart beats per minute while it is at rest. The key to calculating this rate is to make sure that you are actually at rest when you find your heart rate. Try calculating your heart rate first thing in the morning. One of the best times to find your resting heart rate is before you even get out of bed in the morning. Right after a good night's sleep is when your heart rate will be the most rested. If you forget to measure your heart rate first thing in the morning, you can do it later in the day. Just make sure that you have been sitting calmly for several minutes and not exerting yourself physically. Fortunately, you don't need much in order to track your resting heart rate. Just make sure to have a watch with a second hand to help you keep track of the time. Alternatively, you can use a digital stopwatch. Find a quiet place to sit where you will not be distracted. If you find yourself unable to concentrate, ask a friend to keep track of time for you. Basically, in order to find your resting heart rate, you need to check your pulse. Take your third finger and your index finger and place them gently but firmly on the side of your neck, to the side of your windpipe. You will find your pulse slightly to the left or right from the center of your throat, an inch or so under your chin. Count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply that number by 4 and you have your resting heart rate. You can also take your pulse on your wrist. Take two fingers and place them on your radial artery. This is located on the thumb side of your wrist, between the bone and the tendon. Your heart rate conveys important information about your fitness levels and your overall cardiovascular health. In general, children over the age of ten and adults should have a resting heart rate of 60-100 beats per minute. Remember, these numbers are general, so check with your doctor to see if your heart rate indicates something specific about your health. Athletes generally have a lower resting heart rate. If you are a competitive athlete, your resting heart rate may be only 40-60 beats per minute. When you are calculating your resting heart rate, it is important to remember that there are many factors that can impact the reading. For example, the temperature of the room, your emotions, and certain medications can all affect your heart rate. Try taking it more than once and averaging the results. If your heart rate is consistently more than 100 beats per minute, consult your doctor to see if it is indicative of an underlying problem. You should also consult your doctor if your pulse is lower than 60 beats per minute and you are not an athlete.

Article: Remember to move to the left of the icon on your rosary. When you touch the first bead say, "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world." Repeat this process for each of the 10 small beads of the first decade. As you touch the large bead at the end of the decade, say, "Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen." As you move around the rosary, say "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world" as you touch each small bead in each decade. Then, say the Lord's Prayer for each large bead between the decades. Once you've said a prayer for each bead around the loop of the rosary, hold the icon image in your right hand and repeat the following words, "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world." Repeat this phrase 3 times in a row. You can choose to hold the entire rosary in your right hand or just the cross. State the following words, "Eternal God, in whom Mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself." After you conclude this prayer, you can make the sign of the cross once more if you choose.
