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.

Waking up feeling completely fine and then letting a single graph on your smartwatch convince you that you are exhausted before your feet hit the floor is a massive trap. Your wrist tracker is missing the one crucial sensor needed to actually read sleep architecture, meaning that daily deep sleep reading is doing far more harm than good to your mental game. In this video, I break down what your watch is actually guessing in the dark, the reality of medical sleep studies, and the only baseline you should actually care about when you wake up. Watch the clip for the full breakdown.

What your fitness tracker calls VO2 Max is probably not what you think it is, and taking that daily score seriously is driving athletes crazy. While VO2 Max is the ultimate indicator of your body’s total aerobic engine size, most smartwatches have zero clue what your lungs are actually doing. In this video, I break down why a humid morning or a hilly trail can trick your watch into thinking your fitness completely tanked, the frustrating performance metric Garmin users run into within the first mile, and why you should never look at this metric day to day. Watch the clip to see how to actually interpret your number.

Google wants almost twice the cash of the Fitbit Air for their new Fitbit Edge, and I have mixed feelings about it. Most compact trackers with screens are too bulky to sleep in and too tiny to actually navigate mid-workout. Google made two massive hardware additions that runners have been begging for, but they come with a battery compromise you need to know about before spending your money. I paid full price out of pocket for mine and it arrives October 28th.

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.
