The heart rate monitor on my 4 year Garmin Instinct has packed up. Thats why I'm here.
Ah! I am sorry to hear that. I hope you were able to find the review helpful! I'll be conducting an updated one soon as tech continues to advance.
16minutes video for minimalist informations...
you should link your other videos on your video so that its more convenient to click. i can't click the thumbnails in the video for some reason.
You are absolutely correct; I should make sure to do that. I have a bad habit of forgetting to add the info cards on top of the video on RUclips! I'll update that now on this video - thank you for pointing it out and for your support! 😊
Really good overall information. Super informative Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support!
Hi Emma, thank you for your in-depth video! In the UK at the moment there are a lot of adjustable competition KBs in stock from different companies. The best value 'bell is the Kettlebell Kings version at £160 and the price goes up to £269 for the Strength Shop model; given the Kettlebell Kings version goes up in 1kg increments it does look very versatile. I take on board what you say about ease of changing the plates but if you buy 2 then you could have another "on standby" and access double KB exercises too. What do you think? TIA 👍
LOVE this comment. Thank you for chiming in! Yes, I actually did just that -- I have two adjustable kettlebells, personally 😊 One is set a bit heavier, and the other is lighter for other movements. Love that I'm not the only one who does that! Thank you for watching and for contributing to the channel with your comment 🙌 😊
@@EmmaMattisonFitness You're very welcome! Please keep the videos coming for those of us who are 40+, my wife and I are in our 60s now and try and live an active lifestyle with resistance training to fight the depredations of aging; in particular countering loss of lean muscle mass and bone density. The fact that bone density loss accelerates after the menopause is not often mentioned but is significant IMHO....Thanks again :)
Glad I came across this video! I was deciding between the withings one and a renpho one, but I ended up chosing the renpho one in the end. Afterwards I saw this video and it solidified my choice, haha. Great information
Glad I could help!
I was hoping she was going to play the rest of EPMD's "Get the bozack" :-)
I never thought of it, but that song sounds exactly like my background music 😂 Interesting! We get our music from Epidemic sound so it's all royalty-free and by independent artists, but it makes me wonder if they sampled that song somehow 💭 🤔 Thank you for watching, by the way 😃

Can garmin watches be paired with non garmin heart rate chest straps ?
yes
I had some painful side effects with Creatine. My kidneys hurt even with just 3mg (1 scoop), my throat and mouth also had a really awful taste a bit like chemical feel and a lot of thirst. I tried getting less, drink more water etc, however nothing improved. It indeed provide a bit moe strength, but the side effects made me stop getting any Creatine.
This is absolutely important for you to contribute. Thank you for your comment! If you have not already, I strongly encourage you to ensure you receive a check-up with your doctor and analyze your kidney health. Creatine is undoubtedly not for everyone, nor is it right for specific populations. I do not need to take it, but some of my older adults benefit. However, it's always cleared by their doctor first!
Can you please suggest which can be an accurate scale for home measurement of body composition. Thank you much
I'll have more videos in the future such as this, but honestly, if you watch my video, you'll notice I do not recommend one in particular. No at home BIA should be trusted to be 100% accurate, but the style you purchase depends on your needs and preferences. I personally like Renpho, for example, but my husband likes the Withings.
Western medicine is a steaming pile of dog shit. Western pharma drugs don't work, they have prolific side effect profiles and they cause other diseases as a result of their toxic nature.
I've seen reviews talking about itchiness shortly after taking Beta Alanine... have you noticed?
What a great question to contribute! Yes, paresthesia is a tingling or itching sensation associated with a beta-alanine dosage that is too high for an individual. That's why dosage is so critical! Nevertheless, some individuals respond differently, even if they were of the same weight/biological sex as another, simply due to genetics. It's certainly not right for everyone, just like all supplements!
You're cute. 😀
😊 thank you
your tanaka formula puts my theoretical max HR at 165, as I am 61 years old. but my field test max HR is 181. such big a variance, wouldn't you say? you don't need to spend $$$ for a lab test. but I daresay a field test with a good HR chest strap will give you far more accurate results to base your own unique HR zones than these formulas.
Thank you for this information 🌹🌹 🌹
You are so welcome!
Great overview and review
Thank you so much!
Great video and cheers for publishing the studies' links in the description.
Thank you for your support! And absolutely. It's always helpful to have the research available!
Thank you for making this series.
Thank you for asking the important questions you have on this channel 🙌 😃
On a different video I commented that on 2 occasions I checked on 2 cheap $40 scales right before a DEXA scan. DEXA each time was 3 points HIGHER than the scale. So save your money, buy a cheap scale and add 3 points and you will be VERY VERY close to a DEXA.
Hey there! I really appreciate you sharing this experience 😃 I did want to make sure it was known that even though this tip has worked for you, it won't always work on everyone's bodies. With the research studies, there is variability even based on the brand of scale used, but also based on the individual research subject. I'll put this same information on the other comment, but I really appreciate you sharing your experience! Absolutely, general trends are helpful with these scales, but we should always assume the BIA scales will be inaccurate compared to the DEXA 😊 Thank you so much for your comment and your support of this channel!
To save you $22,000. For what its worth. (a) on 2 occasions I took regular cheap $40 scales (a different model each time) with me to DEXA scans. (b) I checked my BF% on my scale literally in the dressing room right before I lie down on the DEXA. (c) each time the DEXA marked my BF% EXACTLY 3 points higher than the cheap BIA scale. (d) so the cheap BIA's are good for spotting up/down trends over months and just add 3 points to the BF% and you will be VERY VERY close to what a DEXA reading will be. ☺

I subscribed! You can tell if you are experienced with fitness instructors who are professionals and/or like what they do. This was a thorough warm-up, safe, and effective. I was toasted and ready for my workout afterwards. Excited to see what I can learn from you.
You're so kind! Thank you so much for the support 🤗 I really appreciate this affirmation!
thank you, your video helped me, new follower
You're the best! Thank you!
You are so gorgeous!
Thank you so much for saying that! 😃 I appreciate it!
Good job simp!
What about rubber bands? Are they any good? I suspect they're not as good as silicone, but still better than latex. Am I correct?
Great question: the rubber-style bands are made of vulcanized natural or synthetic rubber, meaning many versions of rubber resistance bands may contain latex. In general, the rubber, from my experience, even with latex-free rubber, does not feel as good as silicone and does not have the same stopping-point feel.
*Thank you Emma for the information, I was considering for a while to use Muse Band but wasn't sure if its going to work for me, with your video, I think I am going to get one. Appreciated.*
Glad it was helpful! I hope you enjoy your Muse!
Great video as always.
Thanks again!
❤
You explained it pretty well 🎉 Thanks Emma
Glad it was helpful!
great video, but sadly the video is short.
I agree! Don't worry, this next one is longer 😊 I'll be filming one specifically on exercising with hypertension for this next batch.
Something has to be off with my calculations. I am 37. With my max heart rate being 182.1 and my resting being about 50 me HRR would be 132.1. 132.1x.89 then plus 50 puts my high zone 4 at 167. Before learning about some training, I just made all my runs at a comfortable speaking pace which was always in mid 160s. How could I be in high zone 4 if that’s “easy” running for me?
A few other fine points for adjustable kettlebells the cheaper ones with a selector dial have a habit of breaking if dropped as the internal mechanisms are largely plastic. The competition style are steel with iron plates and will likely outlast your life. Another advantage to competition style adjustable kettlebells is the ability to adjust the weight in smaller increments of 1kg/2.2lb as they come from the factory but small lightweight plates with a 1"/2.54cm hole can be used thus allowing weight increments as small as 0.113kg/0.25lb are easily sourced allowing for very slight increases in weight which allows for better strength results.
These are all excellent points! Thank you for sharing this and contributing to the channel 😃 And also, exactly -- nothing can destroy the competition style kettlebells! Thanks again for your comment 😊
@@EmmaMattisonFitness there's things that I'd do with a cast iron kettlebell such as swings or high pulls in the ocean surf or looping a towel through it and repeatedly slamming it into the ground that I wouldn't want to do to my adjustable kettlebells (but they seem made to last for the most part).
Best video on the subject! 🙌
Glad it was helpful! Really appreciate your support 😊 🙌
Hello @Emma can you include the Garmin blood pressure monitor if possible?
You know, I saw this comment right after we filmed the review video of the OMRON BP monitors (we usually film in batches at a time, and then release after they get edited). I will of course do a review of the Garmin blood pressure monitor for you when I am able! Thank you as always for your support!
great video, learned a lot, will start following. Any suggestions on kettlebell books/guides?
You're the best! I cannot think of any specific books or guides as I learned some of what I know from Online Fitness Education's Kettlebell certification, and a bit of it from FAI as well, but I can say I have a beginner KB program as part of my on-demand monthly subscription 😊 Otherwise, I have a video on KB hand grip positions that is helpful as well here! ruclips.net/video/7vRD44CXQfw/видео.html
great video as always .
Thanks again!
Hi Emma! Another great video! I am curious as to why only the elasticity of the arteries matter and not also the veins.
Great question. Basically, the pressure of the blood that is pumped out from the heart is high, and it is important for the artery to have a strong wall so that it does not rupture. Veins don't have to handle much pressure at all, naturally!
Very useful and super clearly explained. Thank you!. Also sticking to my Renpho.
Thank you so much for your support!
I didn’t expect the video will be focused about human biology.
Great video , I can’t wait for the next video.
More to come for the whole series! I'll have exercise-specific ones later on 😊 Thank you for your support!
Great editing, Josh!! Emma really does love her editor 😂
This video and the other one are fantastic. This is the first time watched someone in fitness industry talks about the inaccuracy of these smart scales.
Fab video recently brought the adjustable one,i find taking the weights out from the bottom up stops the kettlebell digging into my arm as much.
Hey! Thank you so much for your support, and also the pro-tip! That is a great suggestion; I appreciate you sharing 😊
Hey Emma! Have you tried to use the Serious steel non latex bands?
Hey there! I just looked them up; I have never used them personally, but I did come across them when I was investigating some for clients. Some of the packages with higher tensions are pricey, but the lower 4-pack is decent value! It will definitely feel different than silicone because of still being made from a form of rubber (non-latex though), and their style will still have the square edges. Nevertheless, I'm open to hearing experiences with them if you have any!
There is nothing better than science-based training advice, which is not always available. I truly appreciate this video and the other video I just watched (on walking). I am glad your channel came up today! I will be sure to check out your content, as I have many questions about training and what works and what doesn’t.
Hi John! I just read your comment and wanted to thank you sincerely for your support. It takes a lot of (fun!) digging to go through articles and literature, but science-based is my way! I really appreciate your acknowledgement and support of the channel 😊 All the best to you!
@@EmmaMattisonFitness you are welcome, Emma, and I look forward to more of your insights and teachings in your videos to come!
Thank god I watched this video. Using online calorie calculators will definitely cause bad weight gain.

I just bought a Waho chest strap after using Polar for years
how to know if my chest strap is ecg?
Hey there! Basically, anything that goes around your chest will be ecg, however, if you notice any light that is actually touching your skin (either green or red), odds are it utilizes PPG. I hope that helps! Otherwise, the operation manual will always state the technology, too, if you're in doubt.
Thank you for this video it has helped me make an educational choice.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support 😊
great information, but now I feel the viewer know will be discourage or hesitate to give HIIT workout a try.
Thank you! Of course, it is never my intention to fear-monger. However, I do think it prudent that people understand the polarized model so that they do not over-do HIIT or "threshold training" days. It's important to learn your own body and understand when to push and when to recover 😊 Mindfulness is key -- but there are many clients I work with (for example, 40+, highly sedentary individuals) who need to be introduced gradually to higher intensity. I hope that makes sense! Never fear movement, when it comes down to it 😊 Just be aware of how much training volume AND intensity you are doing week to week.
