hey guys I was here from minus BT calm
and one day I’ll update the website I
might even be worth going to and this
could be my second review of bloomin
because we are four weeks in and you
might see my other video or you’re
watching this video because you want to
know whether it’s by the man yes or no
so I’m gonna give you a quick so I’m a
personal trainer so I’m doing this from
a kind of personal trainer point of view
and helping you Blair I’m very much of
the mindset that technology’s gonna
overtake us just like and cars took away
carriage makers jobs and just like
professional chess players eventually
got beaten by computers and the kind of
fitness industry is slowly getting
replaced by electronic things and
electronic gadgets and that’s not
necessarily a bad thing
and I think there’s maybe always going
to be a place for a human coach in human
connection but I really think that these
technologies are are just getting better
and better and they’re every kind of
aspect of training can be and can be
found in a computer system and maybe we
can do this through gadgets mail from
his Paris oh I love fitness gadgets and
I love testing of mine I love having a
place so if you like fitness gadgets and
things hit us up and I really appreciate
it
and I’m hit a like leave a comment if
you want to know anything more if
there’s something haven’t covered so
anyway I said and using this woman it’s
breathing device and and if you see
woman you kind of been followed around
by the adverts and stuff so it’s kind of
saying is hacking your metabolism and
and hacking is such an overused word now
it’s kind of a little bit hyperbole so
when what I’m gonna talk about this I’m
just gonna talk about for my experience
so what what it does is there’s a hack
your metabolism so hacking is just a
shortcut so it doesn’t necessarily hack
he gives you an insight and you might be
like ooh why do you need it in my first
video add a few
negative comments on on it and like hey
you should just do this you should do
this do that and this is people that in
my personal experience I don’t think
they understand nutrition on on a deep
level and they don’t understand
metabolism on a deep level it was just
the case of calories in calories at
which it’s a huge component and a major
player and there wouldn’t be a health
problem in in the world today there is
so many other complex issues and things
going on and with weight with metabolism
with all sorts of things so there’s a
hormonal balance there’s an energy
balance there’s individual life and
circumstances the lumen gives you one
insight so the way the lumen works is on
a metric called re R and this isn’t a
new thing they’ve been doing this in
sports science universities forever and
all re are is is respiratory exchange
ratio so you breathe in a certain amount
of air you can detect in that air
through a device that hey you breathe in
so much oxygen that goes until the lungs
fill up the lung and it as you breathe
out you’ll be that a certain amount of
co2 which is you your waste product if
you Bri that loads of co2 you’re mostly
burning carbs and if you Bernard I or if
you breathe that little it’s fat and
that is what re are is it’s just
respiratory exchange ratio and simply
that’s what it does the lumen does this
so the actual use of the lumen is
actually quite tricky you inhale through
the device a quick side Noland device
the device is lovely made it feels nice
works great fantastic it’s got this cool
kind of magnetic glitter so you take out
big breath through it the top guides you
through it you’re ten seconds and then
you breathe that breath in a steady rate
and then you do two to three of those so
it’s not a single breath as they kind of
like to in their advertisement you do
and three of these breaths
a little bit time-consuming a little bit
tricky because you can get it wrong very
often but the longer you
the machine because now I’ve been using
it for or the device only been using it
I’ve been using it for four weeks it
seems to work and you just get the hang
of it a lot better you practice and it
becomes second nature so I really make a
mistake times when I make mistakes when
I’ve just eaten something – my stomach’s
quite fully like a big errand that
happens and if you can ever breath but
they want you to sit down a little while
so back to what it does so that’s what
it’s telling you
and why that could be useful is it sort
of tells you if you’re breathing I’m
mostly fat and you just about to do a
heart conditioning session a mad workout
a weightlifting workout ain’t carb
dominant work is why I should just say
then you really don’t want to be burning
the fat for that you really want to be
switching the fuel source over to
carbohydrates at the same time and
there’s certain parts of the day that
you want to be burning fat and not
burning carbohydrates if you’re going
for a walk you want to kind of come back
from that walk and know that you’ve kind
of switched into a fat-burning mode and
I know those words are kind of overused
so for me because I’ve been doing
fasting Intermed fast enough I like in
Memphis in suits my lifestyle
it helps me control my hunger it’s
really good but I was doing my workout
in the morning so one of the things that
told me is a really obvious thing in
sport science is time your carbohydrates
around your workout and I just haven’t
been doing that for absolutely ages so
in the morning I got normally don’t have
anything I have a coffee look special
milk in it and if I get time in the
morning I’ll bust that worker and say I
run about nine ten o’clock
finish the workout ready back to 11
normally be pretty pooped and exhausted
normally not my greatest workouts and
then I don’t know me until 1:00 2:00
o’clock that’s honest that’s really
terrible for sports nutrition that’s
really terrible for for exercises muscle
growth is terrible for everything and
you really want to Jack a meal and
straight after your workout find out and
protein shake of iodine some car
whether it’s a banana or some gummy
bears doesn’t matter too much about
something no nothing and I’ve been
giving it nothing and lumens kind of
show me that I’m not quite an effective
fat burner being effective fat burner
for a hard workers pants that’s not so
good
so lumen can show you these little
things that something’s are very obvious
that coach will tell you and then some
things are not so obvious but it’s
really interesting getting the fuel the
other thing it doesn’t tell you is if
you’re burning carbohydrates where those
carbohydrates coming from so I went for
a 25k walk I want to get back back from
the walk I was burning and I was at 3 so
the skill that Duman gives you is one
that’s all fat five is all carbs and
then you know all the numbers in between
or somewhere in between that I came back
from the walk burning a three but I mean
anything on the walk it’s a 25k walk I
should have been really heavily burning
fat
so that means my body is somehow sources
of carbohydrates which could mean it’s
metabolized some of my muscle stores
third process called new cuckoo Genesis
which is just creating glucose I have
muscle tissue or just creating new
glucose and you know primarily probably
coming from muscle tissue and and that’s
not particularly good thing either
because you don’t eat your your your you
don’t eat your lean tissue to supply
energy so that was an interesting thing
that that luminance kind of showed me
that and if that is happening then you
need to up your protein levels so you
eat you you’re burning with dietary
protein rather than your your your
muscle stores and that will help
preserve your muscle stores so the
overall view on Luminess it’s super
duper helpful giving you these insights
and loads of people are like oh why do
you know why do you need it and then I
was over white
My Fitness Pal why do you need dumbbells
oh I do need a squat bar watching any
tool these are just tools and tools in
the toolbox and when I kind of first
started diving exercise well over ten
years ago there was no MyFitnessPal
there’s no smartphones I use pen and
paper and I mostly chicken broccoli and
rice because I knew that the macros in
those food since then I didn’t know you
get MyFitnessPal flex all deities become
more of a thing and I think lumen given
you this insight to what you’re burning
so you can bear nutrient time your
nutrients so you can have better
exercise performance and if you have
very exercise performance you’ve got a
chance of building more muscle becoming
fair and moving up a level in your
fitness and and also you got more time
so you know burning the right energy in
the right workouts and that’s what lumen
I think it’s really good telling the app
itself is it’s lovely to use and it does
give you an a meal plan but the meal
plan doesn’t give you any of the recipes
how to make it and it will just be kind
of like hey here’s here’s a meal and
it’s got this and it’s delicious and the
picture looks lovely but it’s just
telling you the axes or grams of this
much chicken there’s much tables than
this much salad which is useful but it’s
not perfect you’re gonna have to use
another external app to track your
macros like My Fitness Pal or Mike’s
macros or something along that lines to
kind of because women asked you what did
you eat yesterday gives you a macro
target to follow and it kind of gives
you the same calories but it’s moving
the fat and carbs up and down to kind of
play back with that and help you with
this term metabolic flexibility which is
probably a hot topic just now in sports
and nutrition is it is it a helpful tool
I think it’s a really helpful tool are
the macros good I think they’re they’re
pretty good and they do adjust to to
what you’re doing I would say the
proteins of we were on the lower end but
hey just maybe maybe go over and see
see what happens and so that’s kind of
my 4 week review and why I think is I
think it’s a good tool I think it’s a
really interesting tool there’s another
thing called P and E and it’s it’s a
fool mask but it’s 5000 pounds but you
can test multiple athletes with it and
you can also use it while exercising so
as you’re moving up tears in your
exercise you can see what feel sort of
shoe burning compared to what heartrate
your app which i think is really
interesting that it’s 5,000 times lumen
is I think $200 $300 around about that
price I do have a discount code below so
you can check that out and see what you
think and I think it’s I think it’s
interesting I think it’s unique would
have recommended to to my clients and I
definitely think I would and I think the
breathing thing is a little bit of
tackle I I think it just gives you a
really interesting insight into what’s
going on inside your body and how you’re
handling fats and carbs and I think
that’s a major player in you know
calories are kind of modalities are
equal by definition but how they affect
you it’s different if you have
carbohydrates that gives you also market
you will burn more calories and not
workout if you go to a workout on the
wrong fuel source you’re not going to
have a particularly effective workout
and I think again it depends what your
like what your muscle fiber type is like
what you are training all these things
coming to play but it’s another clue
another tool to kind of figuring out how
you work and how uniquely work on how
you can tiny things better and how you
can get better with things so anyway
long winded video today on blumen if you
enjoyed it if you have any
just give me a shout and more than happy
to answer them
and and that’s all thanks for watching
