Fitness

A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Anyone got a fitness tracker / wearable they swear by? Been using fitbit + strava forever but feel like there’s a lot of stronger performing options now. 

Primarily run tracking but lifting / boxing as well

Honestly good call no reason not to test it out🤝

get a whoop. it's a monthly subscription as well so just cancel if u dont like after the first 2 months. i got it just to test and been using it for 8 months now, don't plan to end it anytime soon.

This is honestly a great take, feel like I’ve always avoided the Apple Watch (I’m in the minority it just has more features than I feel necessary haha tho very useful) but I don’t doubt that it will be very competitive very soon

Apple Watch + Health App + Strava. I imagine AW will only get better and have software parity with WHOOP in a couple years.

The open web is dead, long live the open web. ⌐◨-◨

Not too worried about location, but surprised it doesn’t do steps. Figured that was standard. 

Definitely interested in the exertion / rest metrics but do you feel like it’s worth the subscription model? And is the app good enough to supplement the lack of screen?

WHOOP is the best one I've used so far.
Great for strength training.

I don't care about steps and location, it doesn't have that.

I like having something very simple so use the Amazfit band. Less distracting since it doesn’t act as a second phone. That being said, I’ve heard good things about Whoop and think it might better serve what you are looking for.

Found out about Coros recently and it’s probably in my top two so far along with Whoop. Heard the app is great

Coros. Used to have multiple Garmins, Suuntos, and Polars.

human, coder, artist. by day @agora, by night @basedbits. running, reading, coding

Any complaints in the Garmin app? Used to have a Garmin tracker and the app was a pain for me, gotten any better? Or do you mainly use the screen for all things

I love my Garmin Phoenix - long battery life and accurate accurate body measurement data.

Whoop or Apple Watch. The watch has better UX but whoop is a more practical take

+1 to Whoop 

i think all the top-end devices are more or less similar, just depends on your preferences
