Body battery, Fitness and stress tracking

Track your body’s energy levels so you can find the best times for activity and rest. While you’re out and about, Forerunner 55 tracks steps, intensity minutes and more(1). Find out if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day. Relax reminders will even prompt you to do a short breathing activity. See when during the day you earned intensity minutes from moderate and vigorous physical activity.

Respiration tracking shows you how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork activities. Use the Garmin Connect app(2) to track your menstrual cycle or pregnancy. Log symptoms, get exercise and nutrition education, and more.
