So i have some questions about heart rate…
why is it important to obtain a pulse at all?
Why is it important to be able to obtain a pulse on different parts of your body?
why is it important to know your target heart rate range?
if your heart rate drops below/exceeds target heart rate what does this mean for training?
it important because it lets you know how many beats per minute your heart is beating. a pulse at different parts of your body can let you know if your circulation is good or bad. 60 to 100 is normal for most people. it is important to know a baseline so that you can detect something wrong

Unless you’re in the health field, being able to find pulses on various parts of the body is simply a curiosity. For the layman, one spot will suffice. For the layman who’s trained in CPR, that one spot is the carotid artery since it’s the last pulse to go in a dying person.
