[header] How to measure vo2 max [title] Determine your resting heart rate. [step] Many fitness trackers and watches come with a heart rate monitor. If you have one of these, record your heart rate while at rest (sitting down, doing little-to-no physical activity).
Record the reading as accurately as possible so as to accurately follow the human's body temperature and blood pressure, lifestyle, health, and activity. [substeps] Note that although these readings may be astronomical in quality, they require real data to be reasonable. On average, this should be around the level of 140 beats per minute. Watch to see how your heart rate changes per minute. The best time to measure your resting heart rate is in the morning before you get out of bed. [substeps] To determine your heart rate without a monitor, place two fingers against the artery on the side of your neck, just under your jaw. Note that if your heart rate is not elevated within 1 to 2 minutes of your rest, it's fairly normal. [substeps] If you don't have your heart rate or watch the tracker, keep a notebook or app on your phone and record down how long your heartbeat has been going on.
