You can also wear your Apple Watch to bed that helps monitor the time you spent in each sleep stage—REM, Core, and Deep—as well as awake.
Tips for fitness enthusiasts
We also talked to Urmi Kothari, a fitness coach, who revealed a few tricks to make fitness monitoring easy. “A common mistake people make is to centre their health and wellness only around “workouts”, while neglecting nutrition and sleep patterns. The number one advice to people looking to focus on their health is to hire a good coach who can guide you how to integrate goals into your life. The more aligned your goals are to your lifestyle, the more fun it becomes."
"The trick to finding enjoyment is to balance the level of challenge, get live feedback for which a coach is excellent, and coach also gives you clarity of your path so you don't waste time overthinking. I personally use Apple Watch Series 8 which is my personal health and fitness custodian as it helps me keep a regular tab on my heart health and activity trends,” she added.
