It’s for those reasons that I’ve yet to invest in a dedicated fitness tracker, and it’s with that in mind that I evaluate the Apple Watch. Sure, bands can take weight, height and heart rate into account, but they don’t do a great job of accounting for weight and resistance that are introduced from workout to workout. Anything outside of basic cardio, however, is essentially untrackable. The movements are routine and predictable, and movement doesn’t radically change from minute to minute. With those activities, it’s fairly easy for a band to track. You see, the litany of bands and trackers available today are geared to suit two types: runners and cyclists. As a self-proclaimed nerd and proud data geek, I’ve also long aspired to having a better, more seamless way of tracking my progress, but I’ve yet to find a fitness band capable. Between Insanity, a couple of brisk walks, and a few minutes at the pull-up bar, I try to get around 60 minutes of exercise in at least six days per week. For the past two years, I’ve committed to the fabled Insanity workout, which is a rotation of high-intensity interval training sessions. I’m no Shaun T, but I’ll be honest - I wouldn’t mind if I was.
