If you are reading this, one of the following statements is probably true:
• You already have a smart watch.
• You are considering buying one.
• You like fitness, but don’t think a fancy 4g smartwatch will help.
• You are a friend of mine and I asked you to read this blog.
Anyway, I think I can come up with a few ideas and explain how you can use a smartwatch, some fitness-related apps and the vital data they collect to improve your health. Smartwatches and wrist fitness trackers have grown in popularity over the past decade
Follow your steps
This is perhaps the best known and most used feature of wrist fitness trackers. Steps are a widely accepted indicator of fitness because it is a common movement that most people can do. It is also a relatively easy movement to make more or less difficult by varying the intensity.
Running, walking, hiking, swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, etc
Another common use of big screen smartwatches is that they are more specific and complex than just following steps. Tracking these different aerobic activities is another cool and engaging way to use your smartwatch.
Various apps let you track distance, altitude, speed, intensity and time, right from your wrist using GPS and other sensors. Some devices even start to track workouts based on your movements. It’s a little scary when the watch knows you’re taking a Zumba class or swimming, but it’s also pretty cool and pretty relaxing.
This exercise data can help you strategically train for events, compete with friends, improve, adjust your diet, better gauge your exertion level, or just remember where you went for a run. last week. Either way, it’s a great feature to help keep you motivated and boost your workouts.
Track your strength training
If you are hardcore in your routine, training for an event, or just want to find a baseline and track your progress, you may want to consider a smartwatch.
Many smartwatch apps let you track reps, rest periods, stress time, and weights used for different exercises from your wrist. These metrics can be used to plan future workouts and specifically factor in progressive overload to help you maximize your workouts.
Measure your heart rate and reach the training zone
Sometimes it can be helpful to know how the indicator works. Smartwatches can provide us with real-time data on our beats per minute (BPM) and even the percentage of our maximum heart rate.
This information can help determine which training zone we are in while participating in physical activity. Training zones can help us gauge our intensity and whether or not our intensity is meeting our fitness goals. This can be very useful if you have or have not exercised restrictions before. It can also help more experienced users overcome periods of stability, take appropriate breaks or push their limits safely.
