ByOlsen Ia

Garmin have just released their next generation fitness tracker, the Forerunner 55. The big difference between this and the previous model, the Forerunner 45, is that Garmin have decided to keep all of the health monitoring features and beef them up with 5 extra features!

This makes the Forerunner 55 an even more powerful tool for those looking to improve their health and fitness. Let’s take a closer look at each of these amazing health monitoring features!

The Base Heath Features From The Forerunner 45 Was Very Useful.

Im not surprised that all the health features in the Forerunner 45 have been caried over to the Forerunner 55. Especially for a watch at the lower range in the Forerunner watch series. I would say you are actually getting reasonably good value. Overall it’s not bad so lets take a look at what features have been caried over to the Garmin Forerunner 55.

  • Wrist based heart rate (constant, every second)
  • Daily resting heart rate
  • Abnormal heart rate alerts
  • Fitness age
  • Body battery, energy monitor
  • All day stress
  • Relaxation breathing timer
  • Sleep

As you can see the base health features for the new Garmin Forerunner 55 are pretty good. It has a very broad variety in tracking your holistic health such as stress (breathing timer), all day stress. Gauge your fitness level with fitness age. Monitor your recovery between gym sessions with Body battery.

However the new Garmin Forerunner 55 is now built for multi sport. So the new health features will be more in alignment with multisport.

First Health Feature Garmin’s Respiration Rate, What is it? And What Are It’s Benefits?

The first health feature on the Garmin Forerunner 55 is respiration rate. What is the respiration rate? Good question, according to Garmin “it’s the number of breaths per minute you take while at rest”. Which is a very important health metric to track.

Why is it important? Because your respiration rate can indicate how your body is handling stress. If your respiration rate is high, it means your body is under more stress. Which in turn can lead to a host of health problems such as anxiety, poor sleep quality, and even weight gain.

So by tracking your respiration rate with the Garmin Forerunner 55, you can get a better understanding of how your body is handling stress. And if you see your respiration rate start to climb, you can take steps to reduce the amount of stress in your life.

The benefits of tracking your respiration rate don’t stop there. Studies have shown that people who track their respiration rate tend to breathe more deeply. And deep breathing has a host of benefits, such as reducing anxiety, improving sleep quality, and even boosting your immune system.

I do think that respiration rate will now become a standard feature for all next generation watch by Garmin. I recently wrote an article about the health features of the Vivosmart 5. This device also has this feature for the first time.

Second Feature is Garmin’s Relaxation Reminder’s, What is it and What Are it’s Benefits?

The second feature is Garmin’s Relaxation Reminders. What are they? They’re little reminders to take a break, relax, and breathe. Why? Because sometimes we get so caught up in our lives that we forget to relax. And when we don’t relax, our bodies can’t either. We end up tense, stressed, and our bodies can’t function at their best.

So, what are the benefits of Relaxation Reminders? They can help lower your stress levels, improve your sleep, and even boost your immune system. All of which are important for overall health and wellness. And, they’re easy to use! Just set a reminder for yourself in the Garmin Connect app and let the watch do the rest.

The Relaxation Timer is a new feature on the Forerunner 55 that allows you to keep track of your stress levels throughout the day. The timer will vibrate when it’s time for you to take a break and relax.

It’s benefits are twofold: first, it helps you to stay calm and focused during your workouts; second, it can help to reduce your overall stress levels.

The Relaxation Timer is a great tool for people who are looking to improve their health and wellbeing. It’s also a great tool for people who are looking to manage their stress levels.

If you’re someone who often feels stressed, the Relaxation Timer can help you to take a step back and relax. If you’re someone who is looking to improve their health, the Relaxation Timer can help you to focus on your workouts and stay healthy.

Fourth Feature is Garmin’s Hydration, What is it And What Are It’s Benefits?

Garmin has a new feature on the Forerunner 55 called Hydration. This is a great feature for those who are looking to stay hydrated during their workouts. With this feature, you can set a goal for how much water you want to drink each day and the Forerunner 55 will help you track your progress.

You can also see how much water you have consumed over the course of a week, month, or year. This feature is especially beneficial for those who are training for a marathon or other long-distance event.

The benefits of staying hydrated are numerous. Drinking plenty of water helps to keep your body temperature regulated, prevents cramps, and can help improve your performance.

If you are not properly hydrated, your body will not be able to function at its best. This can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and even heat stroke.

Garmin has decided to include a women’s health monitoring feature in the forerunner 55. What is women’s health? Women’s Health is the branch of medicine that focuses on the treatment and diagnosis of diseases and conditions that affect a woman’s physical and emotional well-being.

The benefits of having this feature included in the forerunner 55 are that it will allow women to keep track of their menstrual cycles, as well as any other health concerns they may have.
