Workout Heart Rate (HR) helps you understand the relationship between your workouts and your overall health. Building on your already useful insights, Workout HR drives smart guidance that helps you see the impact of your workouts on your Sleep and Readiness scores. With Workout HR, your Oura Ring becomes a full-featured, low-profile fitness tracker that doesn’t just count steps. It takes into account all your body’s signals to help you find the right balance between activity and recovery.

Joining Automatic Activity Detection and Location, it rounds out the range of data you get after exercise, gives you rewards and insights driven by your Workout HR, and helps you put your workouts in the context of your overall health and wellness.
