The new year always starts with the same promises: exercise more, sleep better and stay mentally healthy.

From experience, we know it's not easy, but we also know the key to building lasting habits. Pay attention, because it will interest you.
Starting by giving everything without listening to the signals the body gives us is often the perfect recipe for giving up the best intentions before the end of the first trimester.That's where the companion that we want to present to you today comes into play: the Samsung Galaxy Watch8, a smart watch designed not only to teach more, but to train better and more consistently.How do you get it?With the Samsung Health Guide, the functionality integrated into the watch helps you improve your physical activity, relaxation and general well-being in a progressive and real way thanks to its customization.Does it.There is also Ultimate Health Manager, a comprehensive and personal health coach that accompanies you in your daily life.

Start early, but slowly
You don't have to rush to the gym or follow an impossible plan to start the year on the right foot. Doing strength training with your own body weight, light jogging, Spending time walking or moving already counts as exercise. The main thing is to measure what you do and how it affects you.Samsung Health turns this sometimes complex data into simple decisions.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 tracks your heart rate, active time, and daily charge and lets you know if a seemingly "soft" session is working or if you're inadvertently overclocking.This information will help you progress safely and sensibly.
Good sleep is also training
At Men's Health, we always repeat: the game starts last night.Samsung Galaxy Watch8 turns rest into a practical measure: it analyzes sleep stages, heart rate at night, oxygen in the blood and even sleep symptoms.In addition, it provides personalized advice to help you fall asleep at the right time.When the goal is to train for several days in a row without breaking, good sleep is no longer optional and becomes part of the training.
The 'Energy Score' or knowing when to push... and when not to
One of the big successes of the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 is its Energy Score, a daily score that combines rest, recent activity and cardiovascular signals to tell you how you're doing today, not how you want to be.
Low energy?Good active walking or mobility.gut score?Go hard or easy distances.The above approach reduces the risk of overtraining and helps with consistency, which is the only thing that works long term.
The 'running coach': progress without injury
Running is usually the first sport we come back to… but also the first we quit because we're doing it poorly.The Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Running Coach assesses your actual level with an initial test and suggests progressive plans over three to five weeks, adjusting pace, distance and recovery.
It's not about running faster from day one, it's about running better for longer.Just what is needed for those who want to start the year with enthusiasm without wanting to injure themselves.
Added technology
The Super AMOLED screen with a brightness of up to 3000 nits guarantees visibility even in strong sunlight, which is important for outdoor training.In addition, integration with Google Gemini and Samsung Health allows you to search for routines, control music or select quick tasks without taking the phone out of your pocket.It's not all show-off technology (even this), but technology that facilitates endurance and accompanies your habits throughout the year.
