using the workout activity for the gym

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi ,

I have a F6x Sapphire and i wonder how to best use the workout activity for tracking my gym workouts.
Normally it allows for tracking series of each exercise and edit the weights if i need to. Its a bit of a chore and i would rather focus on the workout.

Question is , if I just start the activity and let it on let's say for the 1 hour workout, will the end result be the same in terms of calories and how the watch will determine my regeneration, fitness level etc ?

It should be the same, I usually don't bother with repetitions and stuff.

Yes, the calories and other physiological data are being determined by heart rate information so that should be the same. I'd suggest using the Cardio activity if you are going to do it this way since that activity doesn't have reps and sets. You can use Strength but then it will lump everything into one giant set and it will look weird in Connect.

I just use the Cardio activity for the gym and after completing the activity, just change the activity to a Strength one in GCM.
