Man loses 45kg thanks to smartwatch fitness app

Many users find smartwatch fitness apps to be completely useless. However, US man Nate Gorby was able to lose 45 kilograms thanks to such apps.

As 9to5Mac reports, Nate, who owns an Apple Watch, said that it was thanks to this smartwatch that he got familiarized with fitness and that the latter’s app motivated him to lose weight after his recent weight loss surgery.

According to the Mayo Clinic, many patients lose weight after such operations; but in order for the result to be stable and long-term, it is important that the patient leads a healthy lifestyle. And the radical change of lifestyle, as is known, requires great will power.

In order not to deviate from the right path, Nate was helped by the smartwatch and the apps installed in it. According to him, Apple's fitness rings—which motivate a person to move more during the day—and the motivation of Fitness+ instructors played a big role.

“Through Fitness+, I was able to discover my passion for cycling, treadmill walking, HITT, and even practicing Mindfulness,” Nate wrote.

With exercise and the right motivation, Nate was able to lose 45 kilograms (100 pounds).
