The troubling part is that when you talk to both, they share a common approach:

The BMI (Body Mass Index) is used by the medical profession to quickly and simply determine a person’s weight in regard to their height.

It was the hardest stretch of the race, 1,000 feet of what seemed like nearly vertical incline between me and the finish line. As I approached the summit, my heart felt like it was about to burst through my chest. I didn’t need my Fitbit to tell me I was working hard on this hill, but I looked down at my wrist and there it was: 185 beats per minute. I had reached my peak heart rate.

Heart-rate tracking is a standard feature on many fitness trackers such as the Apple Watch ($399 at Amazon), Galaxy Watch and most Fitbits, but they rarely explain what to do with that information.

How I Dropped 10% Body Fat In 3 Months (and more importantly, everything i learned)

syncs — Sun, 01 Mar 2020 14:27:39 +0000

Hi Guys!! I hope today’s video helps you out! If you’ve been watching my channel, you know that 3 months ago I enlisted the help of a nutritionist to help me get my health on track. During these 3 months, I dropped 10% body fat, but even more importantly I learned so much about my health and fat loss in general. I wanted to make today’s video to help share what I’ve learned for those who are interested, and also for those who can’t afford to see a nutritionist themselves! Please remember this was all just a plan tailored specifically for me, so I’m not guaranteeing it will do anything for anyone else. But I do hope that you will be able to take away something that I learned and hopefully apply it to your own journey! love you sooo much!
