![]() ![]() The best fitness trackers offer a fun and intuitive way to help you set goals and measure your progress. I don’t want them thinking they can have that scoop of ice cream tonight because the Apple Watch said they burned 200kcal more than they actually did.Whether you’re an avid exerciser, a competitive goal-setter, or a health-minded individual, a fitness tracker can be a great investment. I’m just posting this for people like my parents that wear Apple Watches and don’t understand nutrition. I checked my Hr and a full 30 minutes of that hour being spent in a z1 HR. One hour of weight training and apple estimates I burn 480ish kcal?! Not a snowballs chance in hell that lifting iron is 74% as efficient as straight running. That’s just under 2 hours of high zone 4 cardio. Maybe 100+- based on elevation changes (hills). I was doing a 5/3/1 back squat day followed with deadlifts.ĭuring a half marathon I’ll burn approximately 1300kcals. ![]() I joined a gym yesterday, finished a workout and looked at my rings. The watch is overstating weight training by like 100-150%. This was the first google hit that popped up when I searched for “Apple Watch weight lifting high calories”. I’m a pretty avid runner and cyclist, I pretty well know my power and hr zones, and using power meters gives you very accurate calorie estimates. I know you OP have already come to the realization but I’m posting this for others. A lot of trial and error and testing involved on my end, but nonetheless I think it’s an effective tool. Once I found my “baseline” session of lifting (burning about 350 calories on my normal intensity workouts) I was able to gauge all my workouts going forward off of that. It is definitely a good way to get an idea of how many calories you burn, but I also think it’s a great way to measure the intensity of which you lift compared to other sessions. The days where I’m not lifting as intense and not getting my heart rate up I only burn 250-350, but on the days where Im really motivated and lifting with the same intensity for an hour straight I can burn anywhere from 450-600 calories. Over estimated for sure, but I think it’s withing 100-150 calories accurate. From the little research I’ve done in the strength training tracking for apple watch, I believe it goes off of heart rate and relative movement of the watch for strength training exercises. Haha you’re all good, still a discussion thread! But I also think it’s over estimated.
