B.  Tracking with Morpheus:

  

 

1.

 

Although not required, i

t’s 

important to set up your activity tracking 

properly to give Morpheus the most accurate picture of your daily 
stress load

.  There are several ways to track your activity, 

calorie, and sleep data depending on what device(s) you have 
and/or prefer to use.  
 

 

a.

 

If you have a Garmin or Fitbit device, select 

“Garmin” or “Fitbit” 

from the drop-down menu.  As you proceed with setting up your 
Morpheus account, a browser window will pop-up asking you to 
sign into your Garmin or Fitbit account.  

You must complete the 

device account sign in process to give Morpheus permission 
to access your Garmin or Fitbit data.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

b.

 

If you don’t have a Fitbit or Garmin device, you can select either “Google Fit” (Android) or “Health

 Kit

” 

(iOS) to collect activity data that is reported to eithe

Google Fit

 or 

Apple Health

 

 

There are over 75 fitness tracking apps and wearables that import activity data into 
Google Fit and Apple Health, allowing Morpheus to access and report this activity.

   

 
Apple Wear, such as the Apple Watch, report exclusively to Apple Health.  Android gear will report to 
the Google Fit app.  

 

Please check with your wearable or activity app website

 

if you have any questions about 

whether it is compatible with Google Fit or Apple Health.

 

c.  

If you prefer not to track your activity, you can select “none” from the drop

-down menu.  

Please note 

that tracking is not required to get a recovery score

, but the more information Morpheus 

collects

, the more accurately he’ll be able to calculate your rec

overy and provide guidance for daily 

training zones.  

 

2.

 

Sleep data can be tracked using the activity-tracking devices discussed above

, or if you don’t 

have a tracker, both Apple Health and Google Fit can be set to track it for you through the 

phone’s sensor

s

.  

In iOS, the “bedtime” function in the Health Kit will automatically do this for you

, and 

apps such as 

Sleep Cycle

 will also track your sleep and then connect the data to the Health Kit or Google 

Fit, where Morpheus can then track it from.
