- Hey guys it's Justine and today
I am so excited because the new ECG feature
on the Apple Watch was recently released
and this I something that I've been waiting for
for, I guess, since the Apple Watch officially came out.
This is the Apple Watch Series 4
and this is only available on the Series 4.
I'm sure you guys saw many of the videos
that I did about the Apple Watch,
but if you didn't I'll put a link
in the description and an annotation
if you wanna check that out.
I posted that awhile ago but today
I'm gonna go through and show you guys
how to activate the ECG on your Apple Watch
but the first thing that you have to do
is make sure that your Apple Watch
and your phone is updated to the latest OS.
So once you've updated your Watch
and your app go into the Heart
and this'll take you into the Heart Health
and this will have a little setup screen.
I already did it so yours may look a little bit different.
You wanna turn on the Irregular Rhythm
so that will notify you if your Watch detects
anything that's irregular.
I also have on my High Heart Rate
and my Low Heart Rate.
You can go in here and you can view
your recorded ECGs in Health.
This will all be recorded inside of
the Health application so here it is.
I've only taken one ECG so far
when I set this up this morning
so I wanted to show it to you guys again
and show you how it works.
You'll install the ECG app onto your Watch face
and there it is right there.
It's definitely recommended that you do sit down
and you kind of stay relaxed while you're doing this.
So I'm gonna sit down under my table.
But I'm gonna give you a demo of
what it does look like over here
but just know that I'm sitting down doing this.

And there is my reading right here
and this automatically gets sent
to my iPhone and you can add symptoms
or just click Done and it will be here on my phone.
You can see that the ECG recording is available
so when we open that up I can get
the reading of what my ECG was
and I can export this as a PDF to my doctor.
I don't have a doctor.
I should probably get one so that I can send them my PDFs.
It's also cool because it shows you
what the device was that was reading it,
Apple Watch, which Watch version.
I just wanted to show you guys this
and how to set it up in case you were curious
because I did have a few people
that questioned how to set this up on Twitter
and I'm pretty excited because the Apple Watch
for me has changed the way that I track my fitness,
and it's one of those things that
you definitely don't need to have it,
but for me I feel like the Apple Watch has motivated me.
It has kept me accountable for
the fitness goals that I have set,
even though I haven't set specific goals,
just doing these competitions with
my friends has made me realize that,
okay everybody else is moving today,
Justine you better get your butt up and go do things.
And this past year fitness has been
a huge part of my life because I really feel like
I needed to get my life together.
There was a point in time last year
where I probably felt the absolute worst
that I've ever felt in my entire life,
and I knew that something had to change.
And a lot of things changed and as crazy as that sounds
the Apple Watch sort of did play a part in that.
And you know it doesn't have to be the Apple Watch for you.
It could be a Fitbit, it could be anything
that sort of keeps you accountable
but for me it was the Apple Watch
and my friends and just a lot of
different changes that I had to make
and sometimes those changes are the
most difficult thing that you have to do but,
it's one of those things that you know
that you need to do and you just gotta go and do it.
Get your butt up off the couch,
go outside, start doing some activities,
and just keep moving.
And I know it's crazy but to say
that the Apple Watch changed my life,
it was a catalyst for sure.
I mean I was the one that had to put those actions
into motion but the Apple Watch kept me accountable
and it is really great to go back
and see where I started from,
like how difficult some of these hikes
were for me in the beginning.
So for me being able to quantify
all of those things is really amazing
so hopefully that this could inspire you,
either get an Apple Watch or to get something,
or even just to get moving.
You don't have to have a device to do it
but it does really feel great to be able
to actually see the numbers in front of you and be like,
yeah, I'm actually making progress.
I'll see you guys in my next video.
Let me know if there's anything else
that you would like to see me make.
I am starting some new stuff in 2019
which is actually crazy, it's coming up soon,
so I'd love to hear from you what
are your favorite videos of mine
and hopefully I can make some more of those.
And until then, I'll see you guys later.

If you like this video click like
and leave me a comment below and let me know
what your New Year's resolutions are and don't worry,
if you didn't make those New Year's resolutions
this year there's always next year
and it doesn't have to happen in the New Year,
it can happen any time.
You just have to have the will
and the motivation to make those changes.
So that's it.
I'm just talking at this point.
And my sweater has holes in it.
I paid extra for these holes.
That's how you know there's a problem.
