Your pulse is your heart rate measured in beats per minute. A normal resting pulse for children is 70-100 bpm, and 60-100 bpm for adults over 18. Your pulse increases with exercise as more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body and decreases at rest. Common places to check your pulse include the wrist, neck, temple, knee, and foot.
