I want to get more serious about my fitness and health and am considering getting a tracker. Never had one. Any recommendations? #asknostr

I've recently ditched my Apple Watch since I switched from iOS to Graphene. I don't miss anything. Rather than turning the wearing of a fitness tracker into a habit, you could work on building actual healthy habits.
I used to wear a Whoop. I dropped it. Partly for privacy, partly because it started running me instead of the other way around. I feel lighter without it. Turns out you can listen to your body without a dashboard telling you how to feel.
I use one from garmin, specifically for sleep monitoring. But since my daughter was born, my sleep has been a bit of a mess. Some supplements such as vitamin D (even on madeira), magnesium, and omega 3 can be helpful for overall well-being
Donβt. Just put in the work, breathe deeply, put in more work. Breathte deeply, eat right, breathe some more. U donβt need to gamify it. Just lifestyle it.
Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
"What is the meaning of life?"
"My life?" "Your life?"

Notebook and pen.
Try to hit one new personalbest per workout.
They're consumerist gimmicks. Just exercise every day and eat well, you'll work it all out yourself.
Satoshiβs Run Club coming soon to track runs (:
iOS and Android


haha what is that? stack sats while running?
An app Iβm working on that time stamps your runs with block height and stores the run data locally instead of uploading to Strava, Nike, Apple, etc.
so accuracy is +/- 10min? π
Haha yes sir!

@Solaris Healthcare has what you need
Yeah, donβt. Just eat well and touch grass daily!

Apple watch is great.
Your sleeping quality is one of the greatest trackers
depends what you want to track/achieve βΊοΈ
> apple watch
pro: great alrounder with good data quality and graphs
con: push notifications, βsmartβ etc.
> polar beats band
pro: measures through ECG so is by far the highest accuracy during workouts. integrates with apple health
con: app sucks
> oura ring
pro: best sleep tracker on the market
con: ring is in the way during workouts and scratches up. fitness tracking is not super accurate.
> whoop (no personal experience)
pro: seems to be a good alrounder if you dont like the apple watch. can be worn during workouts. great analytics
con: sleep tracking is a little inferior to oura (according to benchmark studies)
my setup:
- wear oura 24/7 for 3-4 years now excpet when i
- switch for polar beats during workouts
β> i get to see amazing long-term effects in HRV, resting heart rate, sleep etc. with oura and super precise tracking of max heart rate and zones with polar beats
hope this helps βΊοΈ
Get a garmin, like the Fenix 8 or similar. You can buy it used.
It's nice that you can turn a lot of shit off and use it independently of your phone while only needing to charge it every 10 days or so.
Push ups sit ups and squats.
Huawei fit 4 pro. Huge autonomy respect to Apple Watch.
Devices outputting EMF in direct contact with the skin seems like a bad idea.
Just track how you are feeling eithout those techtools. They cannot track how you feel.
Using Whoop here, but it's quite expensive and it needs quite a lot of trust of me for having my health data. But ok...it helps me to stay focused with metrics on my overall well-being and for 90% it is accurate how I feel. Listening to your own body is always the most important, but using these metrics helps me to improve my fitness levels towards achieving competive (cycling) goals.. I can see how my fitness improves / declines over a longer period of time.
Just vibe code one for yourself on top nostr!
Amazfit Active 2 is a good size and 10 days battery. Much better than ild Galaxy watch that just tried to do too much.
Get a fully emtb that's all you need to track nature fren. Best investment I made.
Just stand up and lift weights. Do it 3 to 5 times a week.
I use Samsung health just for consistency, never had a smart watch or band.
I have been wearing Oura for 4 years now. Unfortunately, they went to a subscription model so that is annoying, but I still recommend them. I have worn it in the sauna, and it doesn't overheat. Fun experiment to pair it with a CGM in the sauna. I have worn it in the ocean. I have lifted weights with it.
They have been solid as far as support: grandfathered me in to lifetime access, warrantied my ring when they didn't have to. They did recently go to more AI support, but I complained and someone quickly emailed me, like they used to.
They are constantly fueling R&D with new features, most recently, 24/7 HR. Battery life is pretty good. They give you a notif at 20% so you don't beat the battery down. I have to charge it every ~4 days, but I have had this current one for ~2 years.
BF 30% off ends today, I believe.
Garmin watch.
I deeply regret moving to apple watch.
Be aware also of lifting weights - just as important, if not more important than cardio. Pavel Tsatsouline on Joe Rogan #1399 well worth a listen regarding strength training.
- Sleep
- Sun
- Steel
- Sprints
- Steak
- Cardio
- limit sugar.
Personally use a Garmin EPIX, but most trackers are great these days. Gather youβd want one though with no GPS / Data tracking, so might be best for you doing manually!
I keep a monthly spreadsheet of all activity.
And GOOD LUCK!

Better not to have a tracker because of nnEMF. Reconnect with nature, see the sunrise everyday, avoid blue light at night. Exercise outside, eat one ingredient foods.
I wore a smart watch for just over a year and began to develop skin irritation. It took over 6 months for that to go away. That's how I know it was from the nnEMF and not the band.
I would add the one ingredient food should be from your local farmers. Food is a geomagnetic bar code.
No tracker. Listen to your body.
4-6 proper days of workout will do the job. Core strength is the base.
Nutrition, sleep and sunlight are paramount. Cold exposure and fasting routine help you recover and continously detox.
tracker is cargo cult (for exercise at least, I can see a better argument for sleep perhaps). makes you feel like you know what you are doing and are doing something without actually knowing or doing anything. you need to learn to feel it or you will never meaningfully improve.
Only know Garmin. I am happy with it.
You should listen to your own body rather than an electric device.
whoop is helping me a lot

Get a new Pebble smartwatch or ring right here
I would say track diet not fitness :) π
Get some kind of hunter drone that tracks you wherever you go and shoots at you whenever you sit down. Nothing lethal, but something with a bit of a sting.
You'll get your steps in, promise.
Trackers are only good for step counts which is only part of the equation
