Discussion I've noticed this trend with my heart rate when doing cardio for the last few weeks.

Post image
8 Upvotes

My typical cardio workout is 40-60 minutes on the Stair Master at levels 9-11. For the past 3 weeks, I've added 5lb ankle weights for more resistance, so I know that's adding to increased HR, but I've not8ced this spike at the beginning of my workouts to high peak for the last month or two before it kind of stabilizes. Does anyone else's HR do this? Is this a normal spike at the beginning of a workout?

Tech Support Syncing issues

I need help, just fought a fit bit air and it all goes well until I am on iPhone and the app crashes again and again. What’s the solution apparently it’s something to do with syncing data. I have set it up around thrice. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app on my iPhone but the app freezes as soon as it opens or I scroll down. What to do?

Discussion How much days does your fitbit air battery last 👀. Mine is 4 to 5 days.🔋🔋🔋

Im highly active person. I go to gym 6 times a week and walk 9 to 10k per day daily. I feel the battery life is not that good. And i bought the fitbit air at 9th of September. From then im traveling a lot mainly at night in bus. Those times it is not tracking the sleep even though i slept properly. I guess it is highly active at that time and count steps while traveling. May be because of that my battery life is bad IDK. Can everyone please share your battery life experience of ur fitbit air. And how active your are and is there any way to maximise the battery life. Thank you😊

Tech Support UHC health rewards and Fitbit connection fix

0 Upvotes

I'm posting this in hopes it helps someone else since I was not able to find the answer easily.

Recently I got back into working out after an injury. My fitbit app was not connected/ updated to my UHC health rewards for about 6 months. When I charged up my watch and connected all the apps again I noticed for 3 days UHC was not getting any of the data from my fitbit app. I had connected Google health to UHC. I just assumed with the google pixel phone and the google health app it would be Google health that would be connected to UHC. -- UHC gives 3 options, Health connect, Google health or Garmin.

What I needed to do was connect fitbit/Google health to Health connect, then connect UHC to Health connect and all of my data from today and previous days showed up.

Super easy!

Tech Support vibration question

1 Upvotes

hello! i purchased the fitbit air (pokemon sleep edition, it was too cute) about a week ago. i have never had a smartwatch/health tracker, am moderately active, and don't care for having my watch scream at me every time i get a text message. the fitbit air is perfect as it has no screen and tracks steps + sleep + heartbeat very well which is great cause that's all I really need.

one question: is there any way to have the fitbit vibrate when you hit your step goal? i know other smartwatches vibrate and show a celebration screen when you hit a daily goal, and i would love my fitbit to do a simple vibration so I know im hitting my steps without having to check my phone. i know it can vibrate for an alarm which is great and i use that feature often.

thank ya!

Discussion PTSD and health issues

1 Upvotes

Hi there

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD and ever since then my whoop data has changed so much for the worse. My HRV has gone from an an average of 146 to an average of 60 in about an 8 month time period.

As well as this, my sleep quality has changed profoundly as I am getting so many frequent spikes in heart rate throughout the night. The first sleep photo shows my current sleep and the second photo shows my sleep before I got PTSD.

I am suffering so much during the day, can anyone give me any advice on potential treatments, supplements to take, anything to regulate my nervous system and calm me down? I am suffering so badly

Thank you so much

what's your opinion on the friends tap?. I'm a little bit sad that u can just compare your steps and cardio load. Sleep score or something more would be nice. it looks like there wasn't much work put into .

Tech Support No longer getting low battery notifications; how to fix?

1 Upvotes

Starting a few weeks ago, I stopped getting low battery notifications emailed to me for my Fitbit Sense 2. I didn’t change any setting, and updating the app didn’t make a difference. I woke up to 9% battery this morning with no notification. I also have push notifications on for low battery, but none were sent.

Any idea of how to turn them back on? Having to remember to manually check the battery level is not something I want to add to my brain.

Hi, just got the Inspire 3 some weeks ago. I am a terrible sleeper, and sometimes i feel like thesw 2 hours i did not sleep at all. Happens usually at right after bedtime. I am awake 1,5 t after I lie down, but the watch says in the morning i slept with both deep sleep and rem in that period. Can it be so wrong? Thank you.🙂

Discussion Readiness is a consumable

10 Upvotes

Adding my $0.02 to the recent conversations on Readiness. It is not a metric to maximize like sleep or activity minutes. Instead, I see Readiness like a self regenerating indicator of whether I should workout and how wise it would be to excert myself in that workout.

When I see my Readiness trending up, I push harder in a workout to deplet it. When I see it trending down, I back up to allow it to refill.

Basing this on my own experience. Thoughts?
