OptimumU offers four different workouts to increase fitness that allow you to choose your desired intensity. You select High, Moderate, or Low-intensity level, and decide between full body and targeted routines
Time-restricted eating may trigger some beneficial health effects, such as reduced fat mass, increased lean muscle mass, and reduced inflammation. We do not know everything about food and how it affects our bodies, but what we can say with confidence is that snacking after your last meal adds calories, and that can lead to increased weight. To use the feature, Create a schedule by using the dropdown, within that dropdown, you can select a preset time frame for fasting/eating. There is also an option for a custom timeframe. Please note - Fasting longer than 24 hours should only be done under the supervision of a health care provider.
There is always More when it comes to health and wellness.

Some of these values can be synchronized via the Apple Health Kit, or you can add these values manually after a visit with your Doctor.
