FitRest's training insights look across your workouts to answer the questions totals cannot: when you usually train, which day you rest, how a session compares with your usual, and how each kind of training day leaves you the next morning. Together they show the habits behind your fitness.
Training Rhythm is a single line that appears only when your data clearly shows a habitual rest day, for example that Sunday is your rest day. If it does not appear, your week has no fixed day off.
When You Train draws a weekday by hour heatmap of your sessions over 30, 60 or 90 days, 6 months or 12 months, with a headline such as how much of your training happens in the morning and which day you train most. Activity Trend compares this week, month and year with the one before as a running total for workouts, active time, distance or energy, and tells you how far ahead or behind you are at this point in the period.
Workout Comparison puts sessions of the same type side by side. Pick a workout type and see your latest session against your average for duration, distance or calories over the last 30, 60 or 90 days. It is a quick way to see whether today's run was longer or shorter than you normally go.
Top Intensity ranks your five most intense sessions over 7, 30 or 60 days, each with an intensity score out of 100 and its average heart rate. It shows which workouts genuinely pushed you, which is often different from the ones that felt longest.
Effort vs Recovery connects your training with your Recovery score the next morning. Each day over the last 15, 30 or 60 days becomes a dot on a chart, with rest days at zero effort, and days are grouped as Rest, Light, Moderate or Hard. FitRest then tells you which kind of day tends to leave you with the best Recovery the next day, for example that your moderate sessions suit you best.
This needs workouts with heart rate and a wearable worn to bed, because Recovery is measured from your body overnight.
Your Athlete Profile looks at the last 12 months and describes the kind of training you do: Endurance Builder, Strength Athlete, Hybrid Athlete, Consistent Mover, Mind & Body, or Getting Started. Alongside it are your traits: how many workouts you do a week, from occasional to high-frequency trainee, your usual training time, your top workout type and your longest active streak.
Progress depends less on any one workout than on what you repeat. Consistency, a sensible spread of hard and easy days, and enough rest are what let your body adapt. These are habits, and habits are hard to see from inside a busy week.
Seeing them laid out helps you make better choices. If almost every session lands on the same two weekdays, you might spread them out. If your hardest days keep leaving you poorly recovered, you might space them further apart. If a lighter day reliably sets you up for a better morning, that is useful to know before an important session. Everyone responds a little differently, which is why these insights come from your own data rather than general rules.
Training Rhythm only appears when your workouts clearly show a regular rest day. If your days off move around, there is no message.
Effort vs Recovery pairs each day's training effort with your Recovery score the next morning. It needs heart rate during workouts and a wearable worn overnight.
It compares your latest session of a chosen workout type with your average for duration, distance or calories.
It is a description of your training over the last 12 months, such as Endurance Builder or Hybrid Athlete, along with traits like how often you train and your usual training time.
A 0-100 readiness score each morning that tells you how well your body recovered overnight, judged against your own normal.
