The confinement during the coronavirus quarantine has completely changed our habits, but not because of it we must put fitness aside. Staying active, exercising and eating well is possible from home.
During these difficult times, Huawei has launched the HuaweiWithYou initiative, to help us cope with the quarantine. And technology can be a key ally to preserve our physical and mental well-being.
On the one hand, smartwatches, fitness bracelets and even smart scales help us monitor our activity and physical condition. In addition, thanks to the apps we will be able to receive exercise instructions, obtain he alth recommendations and much other information, interacting with the different gadgets.
Sports without leaving home
There are many exercises that we can do at home, from the classic squats and sit-ups to options such as aerobics or HIIT sessions at home, always depending on our capacities and available space.
A good complement is the Huawei Watch GT 2, which includes a real-time heart rate monitor and a intelligent trainer who helps us in the sessions.
The smartwatch allows you to control the effort on stationary bike, elliptical or indoor running, exercises that are easy to do from home, in addition to recording all daily activity and alert us if we spend too much time sitting down.
The Huawei Watch GT 2 is used to optimize the exercise we do, but also to analyze our night rest and the TruRelax function helps us to relax with breathing exercises.
Together with other gadgets, the possibilities expand: the Huawei Watch GT 2 collects training data, which we can view on our mobile thanks to the Huawei He alth app, and complement with information from the Huawei Smart digital scale, which measures weight, percentage of body fat, muscle, water and up to 9 body variables.
"The new Huawei Watch GT2 includes a measurement tool that will be very useful in work environments: stress measurement. With this index we will be able to control how our working day develops and we will learn to better understand our work and rest routines" pointed out Fabio Arena, Product Manager of Huawei CBG Spain, in his presentation.
It is also useful to link the smart watch to the Huawei FreeBuds 3 headphones, to listen to music while exercising, wirelessly and without the need to carry the mobile with you.
Another alternative is the Huawei Watch GT 2e, a new model with an even sportier approach, including85 custom sport modes Many can be done indoors, such as walking, treadmill, stationary bike, rowing, or free exercise mode.
Apart from the real-time heart rate monitor, it allows you to know the level of SpO2for sports purposes, the oxygen consumption during training and estimates the level of effort, in addition to the recommended recovery time, so that the sessions are more productive.
It is possible to pair the Huawei Watch GT 2e with wireless headphones such as the Huawei FreeBuds 3, so we can carry up to 500 songs on our wrists that motivate us.
Apps are also key when it comes to taking care of ourselves, and a good alternative is Huawei He alth Monitor the steps we take, the calories consumed, sleep quality, pulse and even stress level, using the data from the linked smartwatch or fitness bracelet.
Thanks to Huawei He alth we will be able to control running sessions, treadmill, bicycle or walks, an important aspect for the return back to normal after quarantine. Of course, we must not forget third-party apps either, some of which are very useful.
For example, in the AppGallery store we have "Exercises at home - Diets and personal trainer", which includes routines to keep fit, in which he guides us step by step through animations and voice instructions.
It offers various routines, such as stretching, for specific muscles and of different intensities, which are also saved in the calendar, so that our progress is recorded.
Relaxing and "unplugging" is also important for well-being. In this it can be helpful Meditate with Petit BamBou. It is a mindfulness app, with guided relaxation sessions, variables in theme, sounds and duration.
They are aimed at letting go of stress or sleeping better, and the app even includes guided meditations to do with children.
Help to eat he althy
Nutrition is the second basic pillar of fitness, and technology can support us in this regard. We have already seen the Huawei Smart digital scale to control weight, and the "Exercises at home - Diets and personal trainer" application, with a section to record the food we eat.
But it is not the only help we will have during the quarantine. The HiVision function on Huawei smartphones allows, thanks to artificial intelligence, estimate the calories of different foodsjust by pointing the camera.
On the other hand, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro includes the function of scrolling in the air, to control some smartphone menus without touching the screen, something very practical while we cook.
Huawei Store is still available
Finally, in the Huawei Store online store some of the fitness-oriented gadgets are currently on sale. The Huawei Watch GT 2 Sport sells for 169 euros (savings of 70 euros) and the Huawei Band 4 Pro at 49 euros (38% discount).
There is also a pack of the Huawei P40 Pro and the Huawei Watch GT 2 (Sport or Classic) for 1,099 euros, instead of the 1,338 euros that would be its normal cost. Shipping costs in the Huawei Store are free, with a delivery in 1 or 2 days and up to 14 days for returns.
Given the need to stay connected on these difficult days, the HuaweiWithYou initiative continues with the online store available so we don't need to leave home, apart from telephone attention in case we have doubts when buying.
Exercise is also key to he alth, and although the coronavirus prevents us from practicing it outside the home, Huawei gadgets help us in fitness, and also to entertain ourselves, work remotely or attend online classes.
