And press the Home button to take us home
.
Now we're on the home screen, from the home screen we will go down to the right-hand side, and we are going to press one time on the apps button.

That's going to open up our apps menu

In the apps menu, we are going to look for the green circle that says S-Health. A little white person running around in there, we are going to click on that person.

.

5
We're going to scroll through these options at the bottom of the screen
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6
As you can see, we have weight, sleep and stress, there are also partner apps which we can download, we'll get to that in another video
.
So first off is weight, tap on weight one time.

My weight is approximately 180 lbs, I have not weighed myself exactly, but next week in the gym I will
.
You can update your weight, and then you have a graph which will let you see every day, even up to the exact time, what your specific weight was.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
You can weigh yourself in the morning, or in the evening
.
If you are the type of person who worries about it a lot, and it's OK if you do. However, if you are weighing yourself more than three times a day, that probably is a bit over the top. Stick to morning and evenings, which is usually best. So that is your weight, that is how you measure your weight; how you check it. You've got the option here to back through a log of your historic weights.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10
You can press settings for the actual details
.
There are accessories that you can use that will allow you to augment your weight monitoring behavior. We are going to get to those accessories in just a moment. First we are going to tap on this menu.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
We are going to go down the menu to sleep
.
Samsung has wearable devices that record your sleep. That means they actually check and see how you are sleeping. I don't have any of these wearable devices. However, you can get a recording of your sleep, and you can actually check it. Alternatively, there are some other partner apps that you can download that will let you monitor that. So again, I just tap on that little menu on the left there.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
Now we are going to go on to stress
.
Stress is measured and calculated using your heart rate variables, so we are going to click this.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13
We are going to find the heart rate tester on the back of the device like I showed you before
.
We are going to automatically start measuring it. We have to hold still, have to make sure there are not any covers in the way or any other issues. There is a disclaimer that this is not a medical test, you are just testing your stress in terms of your fitness. So let's click on OK.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
Its ready to start measuring us
.
I need to be quiet for a minute. I'll put my finger on the heart monitor, and let's get going.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
There we go
.
It wasn't very happy with me, I took too long. Let's do it again.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16
There we are
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17
It says it is measuring
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
18
Now for those of you who don't know, heart rate variability is what you saw me doing earlier, where my heart rate went from 77 beats per minute to 72 beats per minute
.
You can breathe more slowly, you can breath more quickly, you can even be talking, which I shouldn't be doing, I'm sure it will increase the stress rate for sure. So according to this, I have pretty low stress.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
19
Honestly, I'd have to argue with that result, but, Samsung seems to believe I am reasonably low stressed
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
20
So, back to our main screen
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
21
Now you have learned how to use all of these applications, we have the pedometer, the exercise, the heart rate, the food, the weight, the sleep, and the stress level
.
The only thing left is our partner apps which we are going to get to in the next video.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
22
So make sure you check our video on how to use partner apps with the S-Health application on the Samsung Galaxy and any comments or questions just let us know in the section below
