The correct formula for calculating the resting heart rate (RHR) can indeed involve any of the methods you listed. Therefore, the answer is:

**All the above**

1. **Check for pulse for 30 seconds & Multiply by 2**: This method gives you the beats per minute (BPM) by measuring the count in half a minute and doubling it.

2. **Check for pulse for 15 seconds & Multiply by 4**: This is another common method where the count in 15 seconds is multiplied by 4 to get the BPM.

3. **Check for pulse for 1 minute**: Measuring for a full minute gives you a direct count of the BPM without any calculations needed.

All of these methods are valid for calculating resting heart rate.
