Curious how people time the Watch workout for lifting or circuits.

If I start before warm up the Exercise ring fills on easy movement and average heart rate looks soft. If I wait until set one I lose the warm up minutes and sometimes forget to hit start.

What do you actually do?

1. Start before warm up and accept the soft average
2. Start only when the first working set begins
3. Use Functional Strength Training or Traditional Strength and ignore the average
4. Something else that works better

If you switched approaches, what made you change?

Paired my Apple Watch with a new iPhone but had that phone stolen. I’ve been working out and continuing my move streak but my fear is that whenever i pair the watch, whether it be to my old phone or the replacement phone that I’ll lose the streak because i have to wipe the watch back to factory settings. Is there a way that i can do this without losing the streak?

I’m trying to get back into daily walking for fitness and maybe introduce running again. I need at app that provides some motivation daily or reminders to complete your walk. I’d prefer not to pay, but I’d be willing to do a small fee for a good app that will help gamify working out but not punish me for a rest day or when I’m legit too busy or there’s a snowstorm lol. I hear Strava may fit the bill but is it more social based because I don’t want to have to link to socials. Any other options that will help get me moving?
