_________________________________________________
A data field that calculates your Training Impulse (TRIMP) in real-time during workouts. TRIMP measures workout intensity using the Banister formula — combining duration, heart rate reserve, and an exponential weight that gives higher HR zones disproportionately more load.

ATTENTION

Workout data uploads automatically after finishing a workout. If offline (not connected to phone), data is saved locally and syncs automatically next time you're connected and press START/STOP on your watch. (No need to start a new workout.)
