So you’ve just joined your first NestEgg 4-week challenge. You’re lacing up, syncing your tracker, and probably wondering: What are Nuggets, and why do I want them? Let’s break it down.

We break down the real, science-backed benefits of lifting weights: better longevity, hormone balance, brain function, and the simple ability to get off the floor without making that weird noise. The blog also covers how NestEgg Health rewards strength work with weekly bonuses, and what types of workouts count.

Understanding your heart rate and what it’s really telling you can completely change the way you approach exercise. Rather than focusing on steps, speed, or distance, tracking your heart rate lets you tune into what truly matters: your body’s effort. It gives you a real-time readout of how hard your heart is working, helping you train smarter, recover better, and improve more efficiently over time. By learning key heart rate metrics like resting heart rate, max heart rate, and heart rate zones, you can personalize your workouts to match your goals and your current fitness level.
