Steady Up Health Strength coaching and concurrent training programs for building functional strength, muscle, & power. I am dedicated to helping others reach their potential.

Since I can remember, I have been surrounded by fitness, nutrition, health, and wellness. I am blessed to have been raised by a mother who is a Registered Dietician, and father who is a Medical Doctor. Together, they run a preventative medicine and healthy aging clinic. Through them, I was taught the importance of living a healthy lifestyle at a young age. However, I did not always follow my parents’ advice. In fact, my personal health and fitness journey did not really begin until 2015, following a near-death experience, when I decided I was tired of the weekend party scene and wanted to make a change for the better. After some self-reflection, I rekindled my passion for fitness, nutrition, and health…and haven’t looked back since.

Heart rate variability is hands down the most misunderstood number on your fitness tracker. It is not your pulse, and a higher number does not automatically mean you are healthier than the person next to you. If your heart beats like a perfect, robotic metronome, your nervous system is actually trapped in fight or flight. In this clip, I break down the traffic light method I use to know whether to lift heavy or back off, and why comparing your score to anyone else is a massive mistake.

Having an insanely low resting heart rate is not a badge of honor, and comparing your daily numbers to your friends is completely useless. Resting heart rate can be the single most powerful health indicator on your tracker, but only if you track to your own personal baseline. In this video, I break down what day-to-day spikes actually signal, why eating dinner late destroys your body’s overnight recovery timing, and how to spot overtraining before symptoms hit. Watch the clip for the full breakdown.

Polar practically invented heart rate tracking, and about a year ago they dropped a $200 screenless band to take on Whoop with zero subscription fees. Polar chest straps are still the medical reference standard across the industry, but with bands like the Fitbit Air and Amazfit Helio sitting at $100, can Polar justify charging double the price of other budget wearables? I unboxed it side by side with my daily drivers to kick off a multi-week benchmark. Watch the clip for raw first impressions.

I spent 50 bucks on a heavily requested Xiaomi band fully expecting it to be complete garbage. But after two weeks putting it through real runs, sleep tracking benchmarks, and heavy lifting sessions, the biometric accuracy genuinely surprised me. Still, living with a 50 dollar tracker revealed two massive hardware headaches you need to know about before you order one off Amazon. Watch the clip for my honest two-week verdict.

If you have seen massive ad campaigns pushing this $250 band promising longevity and disease detection, hold onto your wallet. I put the Hume Band 2.0 through two weeks of strict testing during contest prep, and the hardware struggled with the simplest daily workouts. But the real reason this device is an instant return comes down to what the company does with your actual data. Watch the video before you drop 250 bucks.

Can a $479 smart ring actually convince you to ditch your Oura Ring subscription? Oura makes you pay monthly just to see your own recovery scores. Ultrahuman completely eliminated the monthly fee on their new Ring Pro, added a smart 45-day charging case with haptic feedback, and built a seriously premium piece of hardware. But it sits noticeably thicker on the finger, and paying that much upfront only makes sense if the sleep and sensor data can actually hang with the current king.

Can your smartwatch actually measure how many calories you burn lifting weights? In this study, researchers brought 62 lifters into a lab and compared their real metabolic burn to Garmin, Apple Watch, Samsung, and Fitbit (PMID: 42076635).

Multiple devices reported literally double the actual caloric burn, while another popular tracker only looked accurate because of pure luck.

In this video, I break down the clinical numbers, share what happened when one tracker told me I burned 1,000 calories during a light session, and give you the only real rule to follow for fat loss.

Your fitness tracker might be lying to you every single time you step on a treadmill. Imagine grinding out thousands of steps during an indoor workout only to realize your device missed halfof them. I strapped on the Oura Ring, Fitbit Air, Amazfit Helio, Garmin Epix Pro 2, iPhone, and my Whoop on a bicep band to count out exactly 1,000 treadmill steps manually. One popular tracker completely crashed by nearly 300 steps, while another hit 1,000 on the dot. Watch the clip for the full leaderboard.

Stop obsessing over sleep stages and recovery algorithms. A 45-minute gym session does not cancel out sitting at your desk for ten hours, and fancy metrics mean nothing if you ignore the basics. In this video, I break down the three simple data points you should actually track when getting started, and why your morning routine needs one simple check before you look at your wrist. Watch the full breakdown to cut through the noise.

Apple just declared war on Whoop, Garmin, and third party fitness apps all at the exact same time. For years, Apple refused to give serious athletes real recovery data, creating an entire industry of third party apps to fill the gap. But with three massive biometric updates announced at the keynote, Apple is finally all in. The claims are wild, but I do not trust keynote hype until I run the hardware against a chest strap. Watch the clip to see what Apple changed and let me know in the comments if you think they can actually pull it off.
