Balancing Strength and Endurance is Tricky for Athletes
A hard running session can make your next strength workout feel like a total struggle, and any athlete who does both knows that balancing these two things is tough. For competitive Hyrox athletes, the trade-offs are even steeper then most people realize. Zepp Health now aims to solve this problem with what they call the first fully integrated hybrid training system for Amazfit smartwatches.
The System Features Training Balance and HybridCharge
Training Balance shows which type of workout is currently prioritised right now. It tracks your completed sessions and measures how endurance and strength are distributed, so you can adjust your routine accordingly. HybridCharge gives you a clearer picture of your energy level by factoring in training load plus other stressors like illness. Amazfit combines sensor data with user-reported inputs—often subjective—to calculate this metric, which may not always be perfectly acurate.
Specific Features for Balance 3 and Balance Ultra
For the Balance 3 and Balance Ultra, Amazfit adds a dedicated Hyrox training library with virtual race pace guidance, performance analysis, and an in-race virtual assistant. This is designed to help athletes train more effectively for their hybrid events. The system gives you a new way to manage your workouts and avoid overtraining when doing both endurance and strength exercises in the same week.
