The Activ8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales are simple to operate and can be used straight out the box. No pairing required, let the Activ8rlives4 Health+Wellness App take you through the process automatically. Learn from visualisation of combined weight, activity and Food Diary. The device measures your body’s composition — especially useful as part of an exercise schedule or weight loss programme. It sends information to your private Activ8rlives account via your Bluetooth 4.0 enabled Smartphone or Tablet (not included) so that you can see how well you are doing and keep track of your health and wellbeing. Unlimited number of users, each individual will need to set-up their own Activ8rlives account.
Easy-to-Read Large, Bright Back-Lit Digital Screen
Allows for quick and easy readings direct from the Smart Scales. Our user-friendly Precision Smart Scales accurately measure and display your weight (Kg, St:lb and lbs), Visceral Fat, BMI, BMR, Body Fat, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass and Hydration.
The Activ8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales does a lot more than just measure your weight— it helps you understand how your body is changing in response to lifestyle choices you are making. It measures your % fat and % protein (muscle). It also measures your visceral fat—a key parameter linked to type 2 diabetes. The quick set-up of your Activ8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales will take just 5 minutes.
How Does the Activ8rlives Body Analyser Work?
The Activ8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales uses a measurement principle known as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A very small electrical current is sent through your body, through your feet and legs. The current flows with little electrical resistance through lean muscular tissue, which is full of fluid. By contrast, body fat has a high electrical resistance—it acts as an electrical insulator. By measuring your body’s resistance to the current (its impendence), the proportion of muscle can be calculated. From this, the quantity of fat and water can then be estimated.
The size of the current used is only about 1 mAmp—this is a minuscule current and you will not feel it. However, the Activ8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales should NOT be used by those fitted with a pace maker or if you have any other electrically-operated medical device fitted. Very lean athletes may find that the measurement of muscle and fat may not be as accurate as a full-body scan technology.

What’s the Best Time to Measure Your Body Composition
Our water content can vary at different times during the day and since body fat percentage is calculated by measuring the water content, our body fat reading can also vary throughout the day. There is no right or wrong time of the day to take a reading, but we find it most consistent to measure our body weight and water content first thing in the morning before eating or drinking and after using the toilet. It is about making the measurement consistent.
Taking measurements after having a bath or sauna, or following intensive exercise, or within 1-2 hours of drinking in quantity or eating a meal as the water content will distort the values generated.
Never attempt to take readings when you are wet, after a shower or vigorous exercise, because of the risk of slipping. Also, the accuracy of the measurement will be distorted as the water content of the body would have changed.
Bluetooth connecting to your Smartphone or Tablet
The Activ8rlives Body Analyser connects via Bluetooth 4.0 and uploads data to Activ8rlives4 Health+Wellness App. It works with Bluetooth Smart Ready devices (typically Bluetooth 4.0 or later). iPhone 5 or later, iPad 4th Generation or later, iPad Mini 2 or later, all iPad Air and iPad Pro models or iPod Touch 6th generation. Android devices running 5.0 or later. Amazon Kindle Fire devices running Amazon Fire OS 5.0 or later. Scan the QR code above and it will take you to the correct App Store for your device.

GREENALL’S CELEBRATES HANDCRAFTED
SKILL WITH BATH RUGBY PARTNERSHIP
www.greenallsgin.com
FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER
Greenall’s Gin has signed a multi-year brand partnership deal with Bath Rugby, as it aims to highlight the team work and handcrafted skill involved in making the award-winning original London Dry Gin.
The new partnership unites two icons in their respective fields, renowned for their longstanding heritage and commitment to consistent excellence, achieved through their shared values of teamwork and skill.
Greenall’s Gin presence will be evident throughout the Rec, the home of Bath Rugby; as the official gin partner, Greenall’s will be served across all bars with its Original London Dry Gin, best-selling Wild Berry Gin, Sloe Gin and recently relaunched ready-to-drink range all on offer. Further visibility will be assured through point of sale materials and extensive branding throughout the grounds.
Greenall’s – which earlier this year launched a new global marketing platform, ‘Made Hand 2 Hand’ – will also team up with the Bath Rugby Foundation – a charity which works with the community in Bath and surrounding areas to enhance the lives of young people through sport – with 5p for every serve of Greenall’s purchased at the Rec going to the charity. Supporters will learn of their contribution to the charity on specially-designed cups which will outline the partnership and donation for the duration of the deal.
Russell Kirkham, UK Marketing Director at Quintessential Brands said: “We’re delighted to be bringing Greenall’s together with Bath Rugby to celebrate our shared values of teamwork and handcrafted skill. We share a commitment to achieving consistent excellence – for Bath Rugby, that’s working together on the field to win every match, and for Greenall’s, it’s our distilling team working hand in hand to ensure the outstanding quality for which Greenall’s Gin is renowned is evident in every bottle. We’re looking forward to working hand in hand with Bath Rugby in the years ahead and providing their supporters and visiting supporters with quality gin experiences to match the quality displays provided by the Bath Rugby team on the pitch.”
“We also hope to bring more in the way of donations to the Bath Rugby Foundation through our activity and look forward to supporting the charity and the important works it does in the local area into 2019 and beyond.”
Ben Wells, Chief Commercial Officer at Bath Rugby commented: “We are delighted to join forces with Greenall’s. There is a natural affinity between the two parties when it comes to heritage. The combination of rich history and an award-winning range of offerings provides a solid foundation to build a long-lasting relationship. We are pleased to offer rugby supporters the chance to experience this quality first-hand.”
The partnership will be supported by PR and social media campaigns throughout the partnership and extends to the On Trade and the Off Trade, with a focus on outlets close to Bath Rugby, in the coming months.
Owned by Quintessential Brands Group, winner of the International Spirits Challenge Gin Distiller of the year 2018, Greenall’s is made at G&J Distillers in Warrington, the world’s oldest continuous gin distillery. Greenall’s ‘Made Hand 2 Hand’ global campaign celebrates Greenall’s legacy and status as The Original Handcrafted British Gin and highlights the techniques and processes that go into creating one of the top-selling London Dry Gins.
Made in Chelsea’s Lonan O’Herlihy
shares his ultimate home HIIT workout
Learn the secrets of the PT’s workout regime
Lonan O’Herlihy, @theposhpt and Made in Chelsea star, combines his favourite moves into a workout that can be done anywhere, anytime
The innovative workout shows how any household object can be used as a weight, O’Herlihy’s training session features Sony’s newest wireless speaker – the SRS-XB501G – to help his followers work up a sweat whilst listening to the bassy beats
Workout includes toe taps, one-arm push-ups and Russian twists
For a workout in the comfort of your own home, Lonan O’Herlihy has unveiled his latest HIIT workout using household items as handy equipment including Sony’s new speaker as a portable weight. With its combination of bassy sound and portability, it compliments his workout blend of speed, endurance and strength.
The 20-minute workout will get any pulse racing. To try the workout,
The high-intensity session includes eight high-octane exercises, which can be tailored in length of time and weight to work up a sweat:
One arm push-ups
Knee push-ups
One arm kettlebell swings
Squat with shoulder press
In-and-out squat jumps
Rear raised leg lunges
Russian Twists
Toe taps
The workout makes full use of the product’s key features, including; handle for easy use, EXTRA BASS™ sounds and line lights to bring the beat to life and keep the pace going, durability which means he can incorporate it into any exercise, splash proof capabilities and the Google Assistant feature which allows him to switch up the playlist with his voice – leaving him to continue the workout.
Lonan O’Herlihy comments: “The beauty of a HIIT workout is that it doesn’t take up too much time, and you can do it with minimal equipment. I wanted to provide a workout that really focused on both of these aspects. Using Sony’s XB501G portable speaker was a great way to showcase how easy it is to use items in your home as weights, rather than having to buy something specifically for a workout.”
Lonan’s tips for an effective HIIT workout:
Keep your HIIT to a maximum of 30-minutes, after that you’ll start to lose your form leaving you prone to injury.
Pick the right kit for you – the joys of HIIT are that you can work out your intensity, so don’t worry about investing in all the kit right away.
Always warm up and cool down for at least five minutes before and after your HIIT workouts. It’s important to not just stop after HIIT as that can leave you feeling lightheaded, so cool down gently afterwards.
Keep the intensity high throughout – Music is a great way to keep your energy levels up and give you a beat to work to, pick bassy music for the best results and turn it up!
Make it fun! The Sony XB501G speaker also has line lights which flash in time with the music, making it even easier, and more fun, to stick to the beat and work through your session.
The SRS-XB501G portable party speaker comes in black or blue, is priced at approximately £300 and is available now.
