Never owned a fitness watch because not interested in always having things monitored, but I am intrigued with this resting heart rate part of it.  
  
 Suggest a good one, please?

Some people with vitamin and mineral deficiencies may have elevated hr, as an example iron deficiency raises hr significantly, not a good parameter for measuring heart health. BP would be a better measure imho, my bp averages around 112-115 system and 75-80 dys while heart rate is 90-95 due to iron deficiency.

But iron deficiency is anyway a bad thing. So why not

Mostly people suffer from it nowadays, the trio b12, iron and vit d is mostly less than optimal levels in people in recent times which can be corrected easily but what I meant was that even docs don't recommend that resting bpm to be considered a criteria for good heart health, mostly dys BP is more important criteria if we look at it bare minimum.

What’s your age? If you’re above 30 then these are pretty good numbers

I am a watch fanatic and have multiple watches but never got a smart watch😅 This readings are accurate?

Yes they are quite accurate. Especially with Apple Watch

For me I have idm+, i brought it for 1 rupee using some discount. Some benifits are no ads in any website. I can download any video which is playable except on YouTube. There much more options but I don't use them.

What are some coolest apps in your phone

I'll state some paid apps 
  
 GTA San Andreas : Most mobile games are meh. Nothing beats this for killing 5-15 mins of time 
  
 Poweramp Premium: If Youtube Music, Spotify, Apple Music are kings of music streaming, this is the king of offline music players. Way too powerful and strongest EQ on android (Poweramp EQ is a separate app too which is currently in free beta so you can try it out. Nothing Tech boasted their Advanced EQ, this is even further then that) 
  
 Solid Explorer: After scoped storage, file explorers became weak on Android. This is still strong with access to android folder, good smooth UI, accessing Google drive and even FTP. For 20 rupees, it's cheap too. Alternative I have heard is Mi XPlorer but resistant to use it 
  
 Simple Gallery Pro: Oneplus Gallery app is prone to slowness. This handles the good basics smoothly. 20 rupees is cheap too. However Simple Apps was recently bought out so I won't recommend this unless you freeze updates for this 
  
 Obtainium: 3rd party app installer which even supports updating them

What’s the view on HRV? What’s an accurate way to measure it? How does one improve it? :)

Adding context as link. 

3-4 months ago I shared my story on Grapevine about the brutally traumatising experience I faced at the hand of my colleague's wife who had accused him of committing adultery with me. This was obviously a bogus claim over a small misunderstanding around a bag which had gotten exchanged with my swimsuit in it.

Here's what happened afterwards.

I was out jogging last week in the morning. I've been trying to get in better shape for this summer as I'm planning on going for a beach vacation in. couple of months. After sustaining Zone 5 consistently I was going through my cooldown regimen for normalising my heart rate. 

Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder from behind and it was none other than that colleague's bitchy wife. She had shaven her head weirdly. This was extremely problematic imo because she is a known deranged person(read the last post to figure out why). I tried walking away but she started blocking my way.

I asked her what happened and she said that she was sorry for what happened and started crying. She said that her husband said that she had humiliated him and that people at work didn't talk to him properly for weeks because of what she did. 

I started walking slowly while acting engaged in her dialogue. As soon as I was about to reach the end of the park I started running towards my car that was parked outside and drove off.

I am very worried. Is she stalking my whereabouts? What should I do? My flatmates are trying to console me but I thought 4 months down the line everything was forgotten. I am extremely paranoid about what is happening.

Background
During a trip to Thailand, me and a colleague accidentally swapped bags. When I called to explain the mistake, his wife accused me of trying to seduce her husband. She harassed me with phone calls, and later threw eggs at my residence. Then, set her husband's bag on fire and got into trouble with the police. She was then arrested.

For full context: https://share.gvine.app/FdwwvTcDLzaK6i2a9

I would also like to address those who said that the story is fake. It isn't. I genuinely posted this here because as a woman it is hard to find spaces online to vent my frustrations. I was genuinely distressed at the moment and my flatmates did take care of me. I also received tons of support from the community here and I am thankful for that.

Here's what happened next:
I decided not to press charges as I am living away from my family and I don't want this to be the reason they start interfering in my personal freedom. Over the weekend, she apologized and invited me for dinner, I obviously declined because she acted all insane before.

But she is literally so dramatic that she lied to everyone that I came to her house and hit her so hard that she puked all over her clothes. Thankfully, their society has CCTV coverage and I didn't even leave my home all weekend. So, no one believed her this time. 

Our group thankfully supported me throughout this and the colleague is no longer in the group. Now, I just want to get over this traumatic experience which when I look back at is too unreal to even think about.

Will this happen in India too? Are you folks still planning to have kids?

This is a very interesting topic. I wonder what the impact will be on so many things. 
- People get married later, have kids much much later 
- Effectively you're getting fewer of your "fitter" years with your kid (although lifetime is elongated too) 
- We've added at least 5 years of working as a single guy/gal to our lifetimes. 

Question to the broader community: I don't see most people between 25 to 30 being super happy. Most people actually seem misguided (me/my friends - in some ways). Is this pattern actually harmful for us?

A person's fitness level influences how infeasible tasks of daily living become as they age

What's your count? Last year data please.

The average number of steps per day varies widely depending on factors like age, lifestyle, and fitness goals. However, a common recommendation is to aim for at least 10,000 steps per day for general health and fitness.

I’ve lately been struggling with keeping my energy levels up through the day. My lifestyle isn’t that bad. Decent sleep, frequent exercise, I’m happy etc

But I find myself zoning out of conversations and this is affecting my ability to be “liked” at the workplace.

It’s not even about being liked, but as a person I don’t like not being able to 100% be there for people when they’re talking to me. It’s what makes us human, in a way.

People who are high energy, have you figured what your secret might be? 

thanks 🙏🏻

People who are generally energetic, how do you do it?

I was in a similar situation where I felt lost and disconnected throughout the day. Things that worked for me:- 
  
 (1) Cut caffeine and sugar completely - strictly 0% consumption. Caffeine is really bad for sleep quality. 
 (2) Increase vitamin D intake - sunlight and supplements. Deficiency leads to general fatigue and brain fog. 
 (3) Improve sleep quality - have camomile tea, get a good mattress and comforter, sleep before 1 AM to be in deep sleep in the 2 AM to 4 AM range 
 (4) Cold showers - not sure if they do anything at all but I've felt a noticeable increase in energy levels after doing them (even if placebo)

Just wrapped up 9.5 hrs sitting in front laptop, and burned these many calories

Stress is real guys!

I'm a fitness chaser who can't control what I eat. So I do okay. I want to restart my fitness journey but a bit structured this time. So what's your fitness regime that I can jump into?

Also what's your opinion on fitness tracker? I have my eye on Garmin watches but worried about their support.

Mildly fit people in GV, what's your fitness regime?

35M 
  
 Pretty fit and the last body checkup showed everything is within range 
  
 1) gym 4 days a week. Not messing around here, I’ve been working out with the same trainer for 5 years 
  
 2) 1.5 scoops of protein shake post workout 
  
 3) no meditation/yoga/pranayam because I find it immensely boring  
  
 4) no sugar with tea/coffee. Skip breakfast. 2 rotis and chicken for lunch. 2 rotis dal and chicken for dinner. I’m a south Indian so rice once in a while is a must  
  
 5) full day fast once a month  
  
 Now I have a decent body and super proud of it  
  
 Good luck homie

I've lately been feeling very anxious and getting jitters after having any form of coffee.

I love coffee so can't stop drinking it :/

Any suggestions to prevent the jitters.

I am 31M and I feel less on energy entire day. I sleep good 8 hours and eat home cooked food for lunch and dinner. (I am a vegetarian)
Is there any supplement you have tried and worked for you?
