Best, affordable, fitness tracker/watch for an avid swimmer?
Hey there, I'm looking for something I can wear in the pool for at least 30 minutes of swimming, drills, and main sets for swimming. I know most watches are "waterproof" for 50 meters depth, rather than continuous water exposure for prolong periods of time- I'm trying to see if anyone has good recommendations!

Leg extension machine
When I use this the regular way, it hurts my knee even on low weight. However, when I do short pulses at the top of the exercise, I really feel it in my quads without any knee pain. Is it OK to just do the pulses? Asking because I don't see anyone else doing it that way. Thanks for any input.

Macros
I’m a 64 female who doesn’t want to starve, lose hair or comprise my food choices. I’m a healthy eater but I have to lose weight. I’ve started to weight lift with a trainer and walk the treadmill at the gym. I’m starting my macros as 35 C; 30 F; 35 P…my question is this a good ratio to gain muscle and lose fat?

Gotta celebrate

Used to be the leg extension machine would keep me sore for 2 days!…
