Use index and middle finger put them on your wrist closest to your thumb and wait until you feel pulsating. There's your pulse.

You can measure your pulse at the carotid artery in neck and radial artery in wrist. For carotid artery in neck; • Place two fingers on either side of neck, just two fingers below the jaw. Do not use your thumb. • Move your fingers around and press slightly to locate the pulse. • Once you feel the pulse, count the beats for 60 seconds. You can also count for 30 seconds and multiple it with 2. For radial artery in wrist; • Place two fingers on your wrist, more on the side of your thumb. Do not use your thumb. • Move your fingers around and press slightly to locate the pulse. • Once you feel the pulse, count the beats for 60 seconds. You can also count for 30 seconds and multiple it with 2.
