I tried google and reddit and came up short on the following for my new garmin watch. I didn't find any threads on this already on here either.
I recently started using a Garmin Vivoactive 4 and I have used it several times to record my various levels during a workout such as breathing and heartrate. On 2 workouts that were very similar came out really different whenever I selected "other" vs. selecting "cardio". My average heart rate was 85 vs. 158. I have no idea which one is correct but if I had to guess it would somewhere in the middle. The workout I was doing was one provided by camp gladiator. Theres "rounds" that get your heart rate to spike or sometimes go for endurance where you want it to only rise a little bit for a long time. Can someone shed light on what "activity" I should pick for this? I have a feeling cardio is actively searching for a faster heartrate and could be skewed but I could be wrong and my heart rate is that high. I definitely know its higher than an average of 85 though since that's barely above my resting heart rate. Also, does anyone know if or how you can run 2 activities at once? I would like to run hiking or walking along with golf if possible.
Any other tips and tricks for a newby are helpful like apps or activities worth adding to my watch.
Thanks.
