 What's up internet? I'm not a healthy guy. I don't exercise and I don't watch what I eat. My work means I'm sitting down a lot, replying to messages and getting stressed when stuff like this happens. When I do have free time, I'm sitting down, getting stressed when stuff like this happens. Oh, oh crap! Crap! There's so many rats. How can you tell which one you're supposed to know? In short, I stay put a lot because of this thing. But it's also because of the computer that I'm getting healthier just like you'll be less stressed if you activate Windows using our sponsor. Five minutes na si Zika na para sa Windows mo. Maraming na kaming na tulungan. Dati, I'm sad and depressed ako. But now, I'm family, love of family. Dati, I'm less and walang purpose ang life ko. But now, I'm a world-class Zuba instructor. So, web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel. And ngayon, ganun pa rin ako pero activated na yung Windows ko. Kaya ako naghanap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out cdkoffer.com. Check out cdkoffer.com. Check out cdkoffer.com. As PC guys, we like our data. Ano ba XMP setting ko kasi medyo unstable yung build ko? Or is my CPU too hot on load? And then based on that data, we act upon it. And it's this PC habit of getting baseline data and then acting upon it that has really helped me with my health. To be fair before, I was getting some activity pero di ko alam anong baseline data ko. And that only changed when I have to walk the dog every day. One time, I accidentally brought my cell phone tas nakakon yung GPS niya. Rene-record pala niya yung steps ko. And as it turned out, I was doing more than 2K a day just because of the dog's walk. Tapos yung data, parang chocolate yan, candy, parang sugar, it's addicting. Once you get a taste for data, you want more and more. So yung nangyari sa akin, after I got the not so granular data via my cell phone, ilang steps, kano ka layo, I wanted more and I bought a Fitbit. So I have to walk 2.5KM every day because of this guy. Dog na dog needs his exercise and nobody can bring him except me. And he's a real pain in the butt to walk. And now with the fitness tracker, it's feeding my obsession. I wear it all the time. Because the longer you wear it, yes, you're getting more data. So namin meet mo ba yung steps mo, namin meet mo ba yung distance mo, namin meet mo ba yung heart rate mo. But at the same time, it also needs a baseline to determine other things like, are you sleeping? Are you sleeping properly? And the longer you wear it, the better it knows you. Supposedly, the better the data it can gather from you. Desnagulat ako sa sarili ko, kasi yung nga dati, wala akong interest at all in being fit. To be honest, it was enough na makag-iasing ako. Do my stuff, run around, make sure I don't kill over at the end of the day. Bear minimum fitness requirements. But now because of the fitness tracker, ayun. I usually track 3 basic things. Number of steps, resting heart rate, and hours of sleep. For those 3 parameters, I do have data now and I've been trying to tweak them accordingly. Yung resting heart rate ko around 69 to 70, that's not bad. But I'd really like it closer to around low 60s. So around 60, 58. And because I have a number in mind that I want to reach, I can push myself further and I can see if doing more exercises, doing more intense exercises, kahit mabilis lang, is helping me get to that goal. And data leads to more data. Yung nga, I want to get my resting heart rate down. That means I need to get my zone minutes up. That means I need to get my steps up. Data interacts with other data. All fueling yung medyo addiction for more data. It's a very sick cycle. But in this case, a healthy cycle. In addition to the data provided by Fitbit, I also weigh myself once a week and I'm up to around 148 pounds now with 18% body fat. Again, not bad for my age and my height. Pero yung nga room for improvement. Gusto ko sana around 140 pounds and around 15% body fat. As with other types of data, that just feeds me to try to hit my numbers better. And don't get me wrong, I still love my desserts. Hardware sugar is the name of the store for a reason. I love sugar, so I'm still getting my desserts in. But in the back of my mind, I can hear myself think, well, you know, still have it, but maybe save the last piece. Don't finish all of it. Enjoy it, but you'll also enjoy the way in come on day when you see that, well, at least di ako na gain even though I didn't lose. As with all data, kung magagalit ka, kung matutuwa ka, na sa eye of the beholder yun. And I don't push myself to the extremes to get the numbers I want. If doing so means that I cut out other things that I also like. Like dessert. So this is not a new thing for me. I've been doing it around for nine months now. Nakadalawang Fitbit na ako kasi the first one I bought Feb 20 or March 2022, na sira kagad. It was the latest model, the Fitbit Charge 5 and I went swimming with it. Narated naman siya, water resistant siya so it should have been just fine. But naging wonky na siya after that swim, parang it seems like nasira yung battery calibration because it just keeps draining. Usually these guys, they can go on for several days without charging even if I wear mine all the time. But that one, mga dalawang oras lang na mamatay na yung battery. I got that one from Amazon so mahirap to return unfortunately and that's one tip. Yes, buying online abroad seems like a good deal. Muralin talaga yung mga presyo. But at the same time, kung makaproblema, mahirap yung customer service experience and I'm not just talking about fitness trackers. So you may want to consider a local PC store like alam mo na, who you should consider. But yun nga, kahit nasira siya kagad, yung Charge 5 medyo obsessed nga talaga ako. So I went to FD Marketplace and I got this Charge 4. Nag-step down ako in generation. Second hand, sobrang mura niya compared to the newest gen and brand new na Charge 5. You've been watching our channel for a while. I'm all about saving money and one of the tips is that using second hand and using the previous gen is actually still quite good. I actually prefer the Charge 4 now, actually. I can do a more in-depth side-by-side but that's for another video. But suffice to say, the Charge 4 was much cheaper and it gets the job done and its battery life is still very good kahit second hand. Fitbit does recognize basically yung trabaho niya is to feed your data obsession, your health analytics obsession. So every week pinapadalan ka ng summary. The number of steps, your resting heart rate, number of hours of sleep. You can add friends and compete with them in terms of numbers and all of that is to encourage you to hit those numbers to get the kind of data that you want. And to be honest, because I have feedback because I can see the data, niinisawa sa sarili ko when I miss a day of exercise. Usually kasi at least every day nilalakat po yung aso. Sometimes now because of the data more strenuous exercise. Matanda na si Logan and he can't run anymore basically. So medyo mababa ay heart rate ko even while exercising. So I also try to do high intensity low interval na I run up and down our stairs or I flat out run down the street and back down again just to very temporarily get my heart rate up. And for whatever reason, di ako naka-exercise for one day tas kita ko may butas dun sa weekly summary ni Fitbit I do get annoyed. So there's that feedback because you can see it visually na ibay parang it's different knowing in your head, oh I miss Tuesday as an exercise day tapos makita mo yung weekly summary ay oh na I miss Tuesday as an exercise day. And that's the whole beauty of data just pushing you and presenting it to you in a way that you can more easily appreciate na okay I don't want that to happen again I want to get these numbers down and let's try to be better moving forward. So I can thank my PC habit for fueling my obsession with data. It's not all bad. Yung parang mindset natin na measure what is measurable and then act on that bagay rin siya for other hardware because basically yung katawa natin is hardware with the software of course residing in our head and how we tweak that hardware how we can improve it, follow sa same principles as we're familiar with making your PC. So kung nakalpoka all day at your office at your home office at home and you do need that little push take it from me, ako wala akong pakidate sa activity rate ko again at the most fit guy but now, I still don't go to the gym but at least I can say na medyo okay naman yung numbers ko and I have the data to back that up. Thanks for watching.
