I’ve been on my “new year grind” (as my students say) and wondering why I never hit an exercise minutes record, even when I had an exceptionally good day…

Guess I forgot about that 22 hour workout I did on last new year grind.

(I did not, this is some kind of error. I tried wiping that whole day out, but nothing gives. It’s fine, I just think it’s funny.)

I’m especially proud of the lowered resting heart rate!

Kinda underwhelmed by mine unless it’s only in exercises

My regular miles was 5.79 on average last month

I closed all three rings this month! Haven’t done this since my father died over a year ago.

Oh well, here goes a perfect February!

Hi everyone. A big fitness goal for me is to hit “heart rate zone targets” every week. ~ 2 hrs Zone 2/3, 1 hr Zone 4.

I didn’t find any app to track this so I made one myself.

It’s like “Activity Rings” but for HR Zones. I also added max and resting HR tracking.

App is totally free, sharing it so others can benefit too. Available here: https://cardiorings.com

Cheers.

How do folks log aerial silks? I logged it as dance but 90 minutes was tracked as 175 calories -- less than I would log walking very slowly. I'm not sure if that really is how intensive it is or not. My heart rate was not elevated though it did feel hard.

It took me until the last day of the month to get it, but I got it! I burned 558 calories 14 times in January.

I’ve worked out a lot in January, including workouts that should be work with Cardio Recovery (outdoor walks/runs). I even did an hour and a half hiking workout and still nothing.

I know this metric is kind of flaky already but no data for an entire month seems extra odd. I double checked to make sure my watch was still properly listed as a data source and it is.

Any ideas on what is going on?

I use my Apple Watch with my Peloton. Is there any way to measure VO2 max?

Does anyone have experience with getting the silver "First Multisport Workout" (and gold Multisport Workout Record) Award/badges on their Apple Watch? I heard that's a new entry (along with Tai Chi, HIIT, pilates, hiking, etc) that Apple Watch provides awards for (unlike say, Other, or Play), but my attempts for a bike/running workout haven't resulted in an award.

Do I have to do a full triathlon to qualify? Are there any other qualifications (I thought I did about 10 minutes each for a bike/running workout--I think I also tried a swimming/running/bike workout of a similar length.)

I want to keep zone 2 without looking at the watch every minute. Ideally I will get one vibration when the trend shows HR is going too low and two vibrations when too high. I know that it is implemented in Garmin. Is there an implementation in AW? Even with 3rd party app.

Rings definitely pushed me to be consistent. Here’s to keeping the streak alive in Feb

This is the highest its ever been. The only difference is that last night i took a D3+K2 supplement. The big spike was around the time i woke up to see dog poop all over my room, but that doesn’t explain the 12-1am spike

I’m down 5.3kg, my resting heart rate has dropped from an average of 80 to 66 and my blood pressure is now in the normal range instead of high and I feel so much better overall. Bring on February.

I like the apple "workouts" for lifting, stretching, walks.

Even though they might not be traditional workouts, i find myself wanting to stay in the apple fitness app to log when I Sauna, hot tub, cold plunge. (even though apple doesn't really approve)

right now I use a 3rd party app and its a little annoying not having it all in one spot.

maybe a custom workout? interested in what you guys do, thanks
