During exercise, you can wear a smart sports band to monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and other indicators.Exercise should always feel comfortable — sustainable over the long term, without negative effects on your body.If you feel unwell, adjust the intensity accordingly.
You can judge exercise intensity by how your body responds after activity.Generally, you should feel comfortable and in good spirits after exercising.If you feel extremely tired or experience pain, consult your personal doctor or fitness coach.
The best approach is to share exercise data and post‑exercise body responses with your doctor and coach to receive more professional guidance.
