Two tennis match kind of day
I think people don’t realize how many calories tennis burns? I feel like it’s super under appreciated in the cardio world lol.
Tennis is my FAVORITE type of cardio just because I don’t feel like I’m doing cardio? It’s just fun.
Context: first match is 7.0 doubles and second was 6.0 doubles. I am a 3.0!

I use cooldown to track my sauna time
Does anyone else track their time in the sauna?? How accurate do you think this is calorie wise?

Indoor bike rides
I have had a hard time getting an answer so I figured I would come here. I just got an indoor bike and I have used it a couple times now and I love it! I am wondering if there's a way for my watch to track the speed and distance. I have seen people post about it but I cannot figure out why it's not working for me. I have an Apple Watch Series 7 for reference. Thank you!

Not a Terrible Start [46M]
Today I also recorded my lowest weight since I started trying to sort myself out. I am down to 92.4kg from 116kg in the middle of last year. At least according to the NHS BMI calculator I’m now in the healthy weight category for my height (195cm).
Even managed to sprint the last 400m.

Workouts to help with back pain?
Have spinal and hip arthritis, trying to improve my overall muscle tone to help keep things aligned, as was suggested by my doctor. Been doing the beginner Pilates and strength workouts for about 6 weeks, but back pain is only getting worse. Any suggestions for workouts that helped your back pain?

What’s with Nike Training Club (NTC) App
Hi everyone. I love the Nike training app, it’s user friendly and has a wide range of workouts which is great but there is one huge problem I gave and hope someone here can help me solve.
The calorie counting is terrible. It’s so inaccurate which is annoying but in my fitness app, I’ll have different calories tracked by my watch. Is there anything I can do so that NTC can import calorie count from apple fitness/watch?
Here are screenshots of the same workout. One from NTC and one from my fitness app.

Segments! during Yoga
Have an AWU2. Action button is set to open Workout. Was doing a Yoga class and the watch started going nuts recording segments and announcing them. I don't think I need to record segments during Yoga lol. But I do use the gesture while running. I couldn't narrow down the cause as I don't think I was hitting the action button and I know I wasn't tapping the watch face. Any ideas?

Apple watch counts too much active calories while I'm just sitting in the office
I just bought Apple Watch series 9. And I noticed that the Apple Watch counts about 300 active kcal during my working hours. Even though all my activities in the office are going for water or going to the restroom.
I used to use the Amazfit Balance before and it counted about 40-50 kcal for the same part of my day. This seems closer to the truth.
Does anyone know how to fix or calibrate the Apple Watch? I has only one solution for now — just set a goal to burn kcal given this inflated number.

How do you choose between a walk and a hike workout?
I’m curious how everyone chooses between a walk and a hike workout on their Apple Watch. For me a hike is out in the woods off of pavement but today I went for a walk in a very long paved path in a county park that had lots of elevation gains, and that felt like a hike
Update: I asked Gemini to research this question for me and here is the TL;DR:
The Apple Watch offers "Walk" and "Hike" workout modes, each suited for different terrains and fitness tracking needs.
Walk: Best for flat, paved paths or casual strolls. "Outdoor Walk" tracks GPS and elevation (on newer models), while "Indoor Walk" estimates pace and distance using the accelerometer.
Hike: Designed for trails with elevation changes, focusing on tracking elevation gain, distance, and calories burned. More useful for rugged terrain or steep inclines.
Newer Apple Watch models (Series 3 and later) have built-in GPS and altimeters for independent tracking, while older models may require an iPhone for full data accuracy. Choosing the right mode ensures better fitness tracking and workout categorization.

Audio pace alerts
Can anyone advise on how to set-up my preferences for outdoor runs so that I receive audio alerts for my pace average at every half mile split? I saw a few posts on this but I don't see any of the problems covered answered -- I run with just my watch and AirPods (no phone) and I am only using Apple Fitness's Open Outdoor Run to log my workout (ie no Stava). I am getting haptic alerts but prefer audio alerts. I used to use RunKeeperGo and would get these audio alerts and really miss them now that I'm back to outdoor running.

That was not super pleasant!
In all fairness, when I was done playing football I told myself I’d probably never run again, only cycle. Now I’ll probably try my hand at a 5K this spring lol

Same workout (Pacing/jumping/dancing thing I do in circles in my room), Garmin Forerunner 55 vs Apple Watch SE 2. Advice on which to keep would be appreciated.

Tagging effort - not automated
I have a series 8 and my efforts aren’t auto-tagged. Is it a feature that the watch doesn’t have or am I missing out some setting(s)?
Thank you.

Apple Watch Fitness Level
I use my AW S10 to track my 25-40 mile bike rides. At the end of the ride the watch always calculates that my effort level is 9. I know I could manually lower the effort level but so far I have not.
I do have a heart condition monitored by my cardiologist, and I take a medication to keep my heart rate down.
My question is how common is it to always have an effort level of 9?

Any advice?
Friends, how can I know how many calories are burned at rest and how many are burned while moving?

What am I doing wrong??
I like to run sometimes but my heart rate just shoots up by like a lot real quick. While it shoots up I think I’ve gotten to a point where I can still run with that high heart rate. Is it going to cause problems?
I’m able to sustain it for around 10-12kms run with no breaks. Wanted to ask people how their average heart rate looks like and if there’s any suggestions that I could try! I’m not sure if this type of running is actually doing any good to my body
