Recovery and sleep
How is my recovery score calculated?
From your workouts, cardio, hydration and sleep. Each exercise and cardio session affects it in its own way, and recovery routines add points back. More about recovery.

Set a bedtime and get a reminder 15 minutes before. Each morning, confirm your hours and rate how you slept. It takes seconds and feeds your recovery. More about sleep.

It starts from a base target and rises with your training, steps and the local weather. More about hydration.
