    AirPods 2nd vs 3rd Generation for non-casual movement exercises (swinging kettlebells, etc)

    For exercises with much body movement, like swinging kettlebells, I currently use the AirPods 2. I also own the AirPods Pro 1st Gen, but have found that they tend to fall out when doing much body movement. One of my AirPods 2 pods just died, and this is probably the eighth pod to die that has...

    So February is done. Time to reset. Looks like no rest days for me. Not sure how I will get on as I’ve hurt my ankle today. Slipped off a curb and rolled my ankle.

    Health, Good Practises, and Exercise

    I had a thread regarding dieting (I thought), but can't find it. I was a chunky kid, discovered exercise as a teen, became an avid runner, went 40 years without a weight issue due to regular exercise, but now in my 60s, I'm about 30 lbs overweight. I'm 5'10" @220 lbs. I can no longer run, but...

    Recumbent bike workstation and Apple watch

    I just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/Exerpeutic-WorkFit-Adjustable-Folding-Exercise/dp/B01F8W8PK6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 My idea is to use it a LOT while working. So, it will be low-level exercise for long stretches of time. Would you use your watch to track it as a workout...

    Automatically recognize exercise?

    I switched to the Apple Watch from a Fitbit Blaze. The thing I miss most about my Fitbit is the way it automatically tracked and logged exercise by what I was doing. Walking outside, running on an elliptical, cycling etc are all automatically logged and counted towards your exercise goals. They...

    How to control Spotify/Pandora music from Apple Watch?

    I went for a jog yesterday and decided to listen to Spotify. I also used a Bluetooth headset, so it was the first time I've run with three devices (iPhone, Apple Watch, and earbuds) completely wirelessly. I noticed that the Music app on the Apple Watch could only control iTunes music, not the...

    Exercise counts to generously

    Hey there, Last Saturday I bought my Apple Watch. I'm very happy with it but I noticed that it counts even normal walking as exercise. I thought it needed to be a "brisk walk or more" to count for your exercise minutes. That's in fact a little discouraging because it doesn't motivate me to go...
