Challenge Time!!
Thought this might be something good to try here, something i never do & should .. While we weigh ourselves and we take measurements, something we should be taking measurement of is our Resting Heart Rate..

This was a challenge yesterday in a daily challenge i do on a website called Me n' You Health..

Challenge:
Leave yourself a reminder to take your resting heart rate when you wake up tomorrow.

How To Do It:
Because the only time to accurately measure your resting heart rate is before you get out of bed in the morning, leave yourself a reminder tonight. Put a clock or watch with a second hand near your bed. In the morning, place your index and middle fingers directly beneath your ear or on the inside of your opposite wrist, just below the base of your thumb. Once you feel your pulse, count the beats for a full minute. If you count 70 beats, for example, your resting heart rate is 70 beats per minute (bpm).

Why It Matters:
Your resting heart rate is a measure of your basic physical fitness level. For an adult, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 to 100 beats per minute, or bpm. In general, healthy adults who are more physically fit have lower resting heart rates. However, your resting heart rate can be influenced by a variety of things, from stress and medications to body weight (if you're overweight, your heart has to work harder).

i will give this a try tomorrow morning!
Anyone do this regularly? Will be fun to see my progress with this as well, i think. i'd like to know i'm doing my heart good as well.
