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.
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.
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.*
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).
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!
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! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7vRD44CXQfw.html
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!
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.
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!
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! 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.
Great video, I noticed that you recommended a less protein amount compared to other fitness channels. Most of them recommend 1.6 to 2.2 gram per Kilogram of total body weight.
Great question! I had a lower recommendation than what I recommend for older adults specifically because those younger than 60 do not require the higher protein goal -- another consideration is that if your training does not match your protein consumption, it can (sometimes) lead to more increase in fat deposition
Hi. Great video! This was exactly what I was looking for. I used your link to buy 2 (one for the wife - who also loves tacos), so you should have a whole taco coming from us!
I've been running for 10 years and a hiit workout is still hard to recover from, at least if you do enough to burn a significant amount of calories. Based on your level you should do an exercise that you can do on most days and you like. If you haven't trained for building muscle pretty much any weightlifting will improve your muscle mass, provided you do it consistently
Absolutely! I appreciate this comment 😊 Yes, beginners who have limited strength training experience will notice a great deal of benefit from even just consistent bodyweight training in the early stages of a program 😊 Thank you for your support!
I don’t think those calculations can work for me, and I am wondering if there is some other way to calculate an appropriate heart rate zone for training. I am 63 years old and I had a heart attack with some light damage. My resting heart rate is 66. But now I am also on a minimal dosage of a beta blocker that lowers my resting heart rate to around 58. I have no idea what my maximum heart rate should really be, but it cannot be the normal level for someone my age. Any ideas?
Hey! I just read this (behind on comments!) Thank you so much for the request 🙌 Absolutely I can make a video about individuals with hypertension (on and off meds)
Hey! Thank you so much for this clarification and your viewership 😃 I wanted to personally let you know I'm actually in the process of creating my own fitness tracking and metric app 😊 It would be awesome to get your feedback on the apps out there if you had the time to complete this survey! It's great to get a variety of perspectives from the various apps, like Garmin -- ujm7qa8preb.typeform.com/to/pOuEP7m0 (I'll also give exclusive access to my app if you're interested in being a beta tester when it's ready! Just let me know 😊 ) Thank you for being a viewer and supporter of my channel 🤗
I'm going to let Josh know you said that! Thank you so much for the support 🤗 Also, I cannot thank you enough for pointing out that the ads were turned on for this video! That is not an experience I want users to have to deal with, but all the same, I still wanted to thank you for watching those ads in order to contribute to supporting the channel -- that is so kind of you! I'm going to ensure mid-roll ads are turned off for this video so the workout is uninterrupted. Thanks again so much for your support!
