Running 2–3 times a week, strength training, interval training, ergometer workouts, and functional training? A plan like this requires more from a watch than just accurate kilometer tracking. An even greater challenge is HYROX, where the athlete alternates between a 1-kilometer run and a functional station, and the entire workout is very intense. In this case, the watch should not only accurately track GPS and heart rate but also allow for seamless switching between different types of exercise. That’s why, when choosing a watch for hybrid training, it’s worth focusing not on the number of features, but on whether they actually make training and subsequent analysis easier.

Do you exercise regularly and try to stay active, yet your weight still isn’t going down? This is one of the most common sources of frustration for people who are just starting their weight-loss journey. However, it’s worth remembering that exercise alone doesn’t guarantee weight loss. Exercise increases energy expenditure, but the body can partially compensate for this by increasing appetite, unconsciously reducing daily activity, or altering its energy balance. So what should you do?

Until recently, Pilates was mainly associated with gentle exercises on a mat. Today, it’s increasingly finding its way into the routines of runners, strength trainers, CrossFit athletes, seniors, and people who spend most of their day at a desk. Why the change? Because modern people aren’t just lacking strength or endurance. More and more often, they lack control over their own bodies, mobility, stability, and mindful movement. And this is precisely where Pilates has a lot to offer.
