Here are the steps to check your heart rate:

1. Place your index and middle fingers on the side of your windpipe just below the jawbone or on your wrist.
2. Count the number of beats you feel for 15 seconds.
3. Multiply this number by 4 to obtain your heart rate.

A normal resting heart rate for an adult is usually between **60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm)**. However, it can vary from person to person.
