    That girl in the back with the barbell is really getting it in. I'm curious as to what that targets and how long should you hold the weight.

    This is excellent, non-traditional stuff that has a solid basis in PT. Thanks guys!

    My gym is fartlek training on a track over hills, which will develop power and strength three times better than a bunch of generic gym exercises. Want to get strong and fast at running – RUN. It is strength development at your lactate threshold, doubling your training effect.

    Hello! Thanks a lot for these wonderful exercises. I just wonder if they would be beneficial for someone who has just recovered from posterior shin splints?

    Lol those reverse flys that you do are incredible! I could never get my arms to go behind my back like that!

    Hi @DesFit, great video. Is it possible to have the list of workouts and simply select on your Garmin which exercise you're going to do before you start each set?

    as you have to push the button so often, does it wear out after a few years?

    I guess you'd be better off without any automatic Rep Counting and just stick to a traditional manual input in a dedicated Gym Tracking app. Garmin is the leader when it comes to Gym Workouts, but not even them can make this a completely automated process. It's just too much to ask for a Watch with some motion sensors in it.
    Just use the watch for the Heart Rate and SPO2 readings while working out. And leave the rep counting aside, or use another app for that as I mentioned.

    Thank you DesFit for this review! Seeing how much you struggled with the automatic rep counting here, I concluded that this should not be a decisive feature for a Fitness Tracker.

    This is EXTREMELY helpful . i wish somebody did this on the galaxy watch. Question: is this the same software as the garmin marq watches?

    Can you design your own workout for the Vivoactive 3 and just follow that to circumvent its inability to identify the particular exercise you are doing?

    Does it count burnt calories during strength training well?

    The heart rate monitor is extremely inaccurate with strength training. Are chest strap monitors more accurate here?

    When a video is so detailed it actually hurts the review of the product.

    So do you have to choose the exercise before every set? That would be so horrible and totally ruin my pace and concentration. frankly I just want something that counts calories based on my profile and heart rate. That's it. Any recommendations?
