Why Not?

There’s probably a very good reason why you’re avoiding your fitness tracker, so it’s important to figure out what the problem is. If you’re annoyed by all the notifications, turn them off, and if you don’t like the way it sits on your hand, just give it time to get used to it.

Wear It Outside

Some people wear their fitness trackers 24/7 while others can’t imagine doing it all the time. If you’re a part of the second group, at least try wearing your fitness tracker when you go out and your step count is the largest. Don’t take it off as soon as you get home, and it will be just a matter of time before you start wearing it all day long.

Set Your Goals

You’ll be more inclined to wear your fitness watch on a regular basis if you’re working towards clear goals. Your phone won’t count your steps, distance, calories, and heart rate as accurately, so you’ll have a much harder time keeping track of them if you’re avoiding your fitness tracker.

We’ve gotten into the habit of tracking our steps, but emphasizing mileage can lead to burnout and injury. And while a good watch is important for runners to have, you should try going for a run without one every so often. Here’s why.

Better Recovery

When you’re trying to increase your mileage, a fitness watch can help motivate you. But on days when you need to take it slower and let your body recover, the ability to track your mileage and pace may push you instead of letting your body relax and rest.

Learning How to Pace

Running without a watch can help you tune into your racing skills. Because our bodies have internal clocks, when we rely on watches to track our speed, our pacing intuition becomes weaker.

Learning to Trust Your Speed

When you work out without a watch your body learns to pace itself from feeling what different efforts feel like. If you wear a watch, it’s hard to convince yourself to keep pushing when the split on your watch is faster than you thought it would be. By tracking your workouts without wearing a watch, you’ll rely on your body’s perceived efforts to hit your paces.

Vivoactive 4S

Watch workout demos or train for your next big race with your Garmin run coach; the choice is yours. You can even create your own workout and upload it to your watch. This Vivoactive 4S even tracks your stress levels and it can give you relaxation techniques. Download music straight to your watch so you don’t even have to bring your phone on your next run!

Apple Watch Series 5

This watch will track your fitness goals and all your cardio and strength training sessions. Even when you forget to program your exercises into the system, the watch will do it automatically for you. You’ll receive detailed workout stats and it keeps track of your heart rate with an electrocardiogram (EKG).

Galaxy Watch

We’re in love with the rose gold color this watch comes in, but if you’re looking for a more neutral color you can always get it in midnight black or silver. This watch is a style statement in itself, but it will also track your sleep, exercise, and the calories you burn. You can make phone calls from your phone, get workout suggestions, and a weather report. Connect to Spotify, SmartThings, or any other apps with your Galaxy.
