Hi,
I’ m looking for a app that can measure the percentage of maximum heartrate while i am indoorcycling.
percentage of maximum heartrate app where can i find this for indoor cycling
I’m trying to find an app I loved and had in my Gear Fit2. I think it was called FitEvo or EvoFit. It was amazing. It would tell when to rest, for how long, show an animated pic of the exercise etc. I sold the Fit2 and got a Watch Active. I have had no luck finding this app. It did not require me to bring/use my phone. It was a cross fit workout on my wrist!
Using the Map my Run app on a treadmill workout the distance walked was almost .2 less than what treadmill reading showed on a one mile walk. Am I able to calibrate the Samsung Active 2 as I am able to with the Garmin Vivoactive3? The step counter works just fine, I just don’t think the stride length is close to being correct. Is there a way to manually enter stride length with any app on the Active 2 watch?
Hi,
Does any of the app supports interval training?
The best fitness app is GEARTRACKER!!!
Strava doesn’t work with Samsung watches (the synchronization is bugged for months). And MapMyRun does’nt work so great neither.
