The pulse rate is a measuring of your heartbeat and is counted every time it beats.

If I had a pulse rate of 56 beats per minute it would be written like this; 56bpm.

You can find your pulse rate on your temple (your right side down of your head) your wrist (felt better on the right hand) and your right hand side of your neck.

A pulse is a rhythm. It is usually associated with a beating or throbbing sound, but can also be pulses of light.

Biologically speaking, a pulse is the rhythmic throbbing of the arteries resulting from blood travelling through them.

Every time the heart contracts it pumps out blood... that rush of blood causes the artery to bulge, that is called a 'pulse.' Each pulse is equal to one heartbeat... so the pulse tells us how fast or slow our heart is beating.

Ideal resting pulse rate is between 60 to 80 per minute, for an adult. (60-100 has been listed as "normal" but, ideally, the resting pulse rate is best between 60 and 80 per min.)

A hearts' pulse is the bulging that happens to the artery when the heart contracts and pumps out blood. Normal pulse range for adults is 60-100 'pumps', 'beats', or 'pulses' per minute.
