can i see on the starting grid for a clean environment to read in. 60 minutes on t.w. . i'm not nothing out of the germans because sometimes i am but most and nothing with the time and even german thinks deep into the german culture of. new jersey we think that is grandma there you go it's all about who they know i'm rachel join me for me to get something to hold. find out how i enjoyed some fine dining in a hot air balloon that's coming up later in the show. hello and welcome to another

edition of your romance with me your host meghan lee here's a look at what else we've got in store for you today. passing meeting underwater museum is a great new attraction in greece. and of finished for charters for connects with nature for her mystical shop. it's the october fest season and each year munich normally welcomes more than $6000000.00 locals and tourists alike for the world's biggest a beer festival but this year it is not happening due to the coronavirus pandemic however there is still an alternative on offer now we were on location in munich last weekend to enjoy the festivities there before the social distancing laws were further tightened well despite everything people are still dressing up for the occasion and women like me. are wearing like this one cheers.

farewells and welcome to munich germany. the october fest in the varian state capital scheme is the world over. so what happens when it's impossible to host in 2020 due to the corona virus pandemic city officials were forced to cancel the october fest this year the locals are still celebrating but on a much smaller scale this year. over 50 restaurants and taverns in munich came together this year to plan an alternative to the october best they call it the viertel species and or tavern bees and visitors can head to individual venues across the city to drink their big beers to dance and to eat typical october 1st food all observing social distancing and wearing face masks. and many people are still wearing their no or later husband and this year m f 2 but as

a big fan of the october fest my so i'm wondering if this year can really measure up to the real thing so let's go check it out. one put it to get an october 1st beer and one of the most famous curries for a house this year they will tap their 1st cake exactly 12 noon in the brewery not in the beer tent. as always the specially brewed october best beer is on tap but i'm wondering if the people here are missing the traditional event. you just can't do entirely without october fest of course you have to stick to all the safety measures and be considerate but i think a little celebration is right and allowed. this alternative festival is only a reminder of the original we want to honor october past as an event this can be a substitute nor should it be me.

so the beer is great as always and the people are super nice but i must say what i am missing about the regular october fest is sitting at a people people that you haven't met before everyone here had to reserve their tables at a time to have them so i am missing a little bit of that making friends by the end of the day feeling of the regular over that. next up i'm headed to munich famous marienplatz to get a taste of my favorite october fest food at a nearly 150 year old restaurant called the ruts cola. this is one of the many locations which are trying to keep the spirit and traditions of october festival live this year. i ordered a shrine tax the oven roasted pork knuckle is a true october fest classic. that's really good. except my favorite i've never been good in the case of the

festival but i have to say this i think it's really nice that you were going to have this but i really. think i'm pro that every hour but i will say that you don't know. maybe i will feel the october 1st spirit a little more if i can find some more people in there later hosen let's go check it out. i'm happily surprised to see how many people are dressed up this year even with no october 1st taking place i'm wondering why is it still important to them. i think traditional costume is part of being a barbarian why shouldn't we wear traditional cost as a woman you're always properly dressed in a dirndl. group. so things certainly look a little bit different in munich this year but i have to say i really admire the people here for being able to carry on their tradition safely it's been so much fun and i hope that we can revisit the world's most famous beer festival again next year service and.

next up an adventure in greece normally the country's antiquity use are held in its numerous museums but now some can be admired in the deep blue sea a shipwreck with a trove of precious items has open to visitors now you won't have to worry about social distancing here but you will need to know how to dive. many ancient greek treasures are found not on land but under the sea. the country's 1st underwater museum has opened near the island of aloni so's in the northern gnc. diving instructor is yana young is the guide for the underwater tours. i'm a diving instructor

a work in the diving instances 5 years. 7 mazing for me that i can take people they don't let them know and out that word and this basically now that we have to be on that world in museums. around 4000 ancient 40 lie on the seabed between the islands of a petty status. when examining them but most caution is needed. i want to make a bit more cautious about the limitations that we have so we can make sure that we have these moments whatever so we have to keep. minimum distance of one meter enough. both and the unseen quake. tourists have around 40 minutes to view the underwater museum about 28 meters down

lies an ancient shipwreck nothing remains of the wooden hall only its cargo can still be seen one m. 40. it's thought to have been a merchant ship that sailed from athens 2500 years ago the story goes that for unknown reasons it caught fire and sank down to the bottom of the sea. it's an impressive site for the tourists. going to the museums you always have these signs complex with explanations and we have them here too it's funny to see so many. similarities to a conventional museum even though we're in a totally different environment it's really incredible. the signs explain the various styles of emporia recognizable by their shapes. a lonely sos is hoping the underwater museum will bring more visitors to this previously little known island. the french tourists are certainly impressed.

because we've had the good fortune to have gone diving all around the world in asia africa south america and the caribbean this vacation is a family project and when we found out you can dive down to a 2500 year old record we booked immediately i mean it's an incredible experience but also on call you. after nearly 3 quarters of an hour tour guide it ya-ya lamont gives the signal to circus. city it was really planned task i wasn't expecting it at all it's a bit like taking a time machine. but greek waters are rich in historical treasures we just have them up and looks in it it would be wonderful if there were other museums of this kind so we'd get a better picture of how the ancient greeks lived 2500 years ago but if you take.

the residence of a lonely so sorry also impressed by their new attraction. that truth about being nice is mayor of the island. and now he's an avid diver as well. of the slope as mayor i have to step up and set a good example. of why it was important to me to be able to dive here and see the shipwreck for myself with whatever you have to. for those who don't wish to dive there's also a museum on the island here you can see reconstructions photos and videos of the underwater treasures a model reveals that the emporia still cover the outlines of the ship and with the help of virtual reality headset visitors can explore the seabed from dry land. diving into the history of ancient greece and entices idea.

what's the best way to combine a fresh air a bird's eye view and good food well a hot air balloon ride with gourmet dishes on board i discovered this combination recently in the netherlands their chef angelica fun cool the air offers her guests an evening of fine dining at high altitudes now if you're afraid of heights then this may not be for you but i overcame my fears for a 3 course meal up and this guy. i'm in a hot air balloon over the dutch countryside but this isn't an ordinary ride here guests are offered a cohen area experience. you've heard of diving but what about dining i am about to embark on such an adventure. ship angelica might check some of the items she'll be using for cooking so these are special developed baskets. for

day all fooled all in the top of the balloon at about 35 meters high and there and hoops between 80 and 90 degrees so the balloon is actually a huge halter often. once the balloon is filled with air it's ready to go but entering the basket this way is not how i expected to begin this adventure. here if. the special candles built on the sides for cooking and serving prevent guests from simply climbing into the basket. ventura. climb goes smoothly and i am slowly getting my bearings.

and job becomes a small space on the side of the balloon to cook and prepare the food as i watch or i can't help but wonder one thing we need to experience a person who would serve in a restaurant yes but i could tell you this is the restaurant the most wonderful view where there is the biggest challenge cooking up here the time. to support the time timing is a challenge because i have to listen to the chief pilots here because we depend on the. everything is going so well you never know lord events brings us and we need to go. before the sun goes down into lakes mine has been combining ballooning in dining for 17 years she's one of 2 master female shops in the netherlands so we're about to have the 1st course. the 1st course is 2 parts

it's the caramelized carriage with the hair uncovered and the current should be in some flowers this for you. very savory q so it is not every day that you get to eat in the world's only hot air balloon restaurant we're cruising now at about $500.00 metres above ground and angelica is going to be serving up a 3 course meal and of course everything is very well prepared in advance preparation is certainly the key. and julie brings down the cooking containers that were simmering inside the hot air balloon the emphasis here is on slow cooking. so. very very often and the slow to cooking means that all the deuce and all the texture stays in the face. this is the sound of feeling with roasted red pepper in the body of a sauce. like this basket is 3 metres long by one metre

60 wide so there is plenty of space you could even lie down and he wanted to but it has room for up to 9 people so i am definitely not alone here. all. the custom built counter above the basket gives the chef extra cooking space it's compact yet well equipped has anything ever gone wrong or fallen overboard no no not at all. maybe a towel storm from the so that's from this government flight cost 415 year olds per person. once the final course is served there's time to take in the sunset but this also means that we will be landing so. look out for lending support to leave like you know the 15 minutes and. then the

balloon what are we learning disability told to the robot moved to benton is a little bit and just let it happen both the drunk before during and after you saw it the boss could leave you know it's legal and like together. we had to delay the descent several times until we found the right spot to land. and it was just like no such. rebound several times and i was holding on for dear life until we finally came to a full stop oh. well there are certainly easier ways to enjoy a gourmet meal but this experience is definitely one i will never forget. this is very true and if you want to see more reports on food and drink then check out our you tube channel the w food. galaxy sees. stories

a wooden 5 star hotel designed by renowned italian architect metairie otoh. for owners christina been the egg and her husband reinhard into the hotel is a dream come true. the look in my view part of the luxury of would is how simple it is to build with that you know the word luxury as many many things over the years the awareness of guests has grown in the sense that people really are looking for true luxury in the kind of natural and unspoiled environment that we're living in. in the wishbone look kieth. look burnishing it's also contain many wouldn't beecher's. the aim is for the hotel zombie onst to appeal to all of the senses. up some of the wood has such a calming effect because it has a warm. and because it's

a living organism i think that comes across for methods of. austrian hall is in charge of the interior design of mali's cotton but. even 6 months after opening he still likes to come by and inspect the pieces of furniture he designed especially for the hotel. working with living natural material is an exciting challenge for him. wood is unpredictable so when the sun shines on it that leads to cracks forming and that's what makes it completely unique so there are 15 tables here and each one has a different crowd. the hotel features 6 different kinds of timber from the region including spruce and walnut the owners are convinced that wood has a positive influence on people's moods as well as their health. for example the

building uses a lot of swiss pine not only does furniture made of swiss pine smell pleasant it's supposed to lower the heart rate and encourage a good night's sleep. building wooden houses isn't what i had been does blood including knowing when and how best to tell the trees. depending on the base of the moon the wood can be calmer if i use it and it's solid form so it doesn't twist or contort as much less than the wood is simply calmer that we gain. more and more hotels and holiday homes are using this natural material inside and out in numerous european countries buildings made of wood are becoming more popular more versatile and more modern like this $85.00 metre residential tower in broome and dol norway reports come in with wood you can always build something timeless if there are no architectural limits well who would also continues to live with and

it's a carbon dioxide storage facility with the who every cubic meter of wood stores a ton of c o 2 and building here were storing about 1600 or 1700 tons. what could be better than a luxury vacation in an ecologically constructed hotel. but wooden buildings are more susceptible to weather conditions so it's important. that the highest standards are maintained in the construction. of the hopefully in the future there will be a lot more of this sort of construction what with the focus on the thoughtful use of materials and on sustainability it's. a happy medium between tradition and mow down to be the wooden hotel represents sustainable architecture with a future. and that brings us to the end of another show don't forget to check out our website for the weekly drop and

case. started september 13th w. . thanks. this is news live from berlin could war break out again between armenia and azerbaijan the 2 former soviet republics accusing charles of reagan i think the long running conflict on the border fresh violence erupts in a breakaway region prompting armenia to declare martial law also coming up more demonstrations in belarus against alexander lukashenko his role of protest is to

clear the opposition leaders for. the real winner of all costs election and say today's rally is to mock her you know curation. that in formula one racing lewis hamilton had the chance to time michael schumacher his record for career wins at the russian rushing from korea on sunday will tell you how it went. i've. written. i'm jared reed it's great to have you with us germany's foreign minister heiko mass has called for an immediate end to fighting between armenia and azerbaijan that's after heavy clashes erupted today in a renewal of the conflict over the no go or no karabakh region both sides have reported casualties in the air in artillery attacks and accuse the other of starting the hostilities now going to karabakh is an ethnically are many an enclave within azerbaijan that's been out of that country's control since the end of

a war in 1904 a demilitarized zone separates the region from the rest of azerbaijan well reports coming from azerbaijan say that in several regions martial law and a curfew have been introduced. the threat from the sky following sunday's shelling of the capital step by not crude to conflict over in a corner curb buck has the potential of escalating into a full blown military dispute. early in the morning ground. forces launched a large scale gratian including. a long line of counter that contact we thought. they are targeting civilian population and civilian infrastructure including the captain. regional authorities responded to the clashes by imposing martial law with immediate effect. under martial law i will call

a general of military mobilization and ask the entire population to unite around the governments of nagorno karabakh and armenia. the responsibility for any reason should off the war rest with the government of azerbaijan now and in the future. i saw. the heavy military presence and not born a car a bucket as part of everyday life in the enclave. is death and mourning for people on both sides off the conflict. in recent years the disputed region has seen fighting flare on a regular basis located in the south caucasus in a car because internationally recognized as part of azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic armenian forces backed by armenia the conflict dates back to the dissolution of the soviet union ever since armenia and azerbaijan have claimed in a car back as their own territory

a so-called frozen conflict that remains unresolved for decades later in july hostilities flared up again 16 people were killed in the fighting the conflict has international ramifications turkey has expressed its support of azerbaijan while russia has provided armenia with military equipment. while world leaders are calling for a deescalation it seems on the ground the warring sides are fanning the flames off their frozen conflict. for more let's speak to roman gunter franco from russian department could see there i mean this has been a long running conflict between armenia and azerbaijan for decades long to be expect it to be exactly what sparked the fighting this time. we do not snow for sure because there is no independent verification on the ground what exactly has happened on the sunday morning so we can only assume that maybe it's what went on on the on which side we don't know someone decided to use the

international situation rather on the conflicts and the international attention was drawn to them to try to maybe gain ground or try to push this country one i would say is that as ever john showed signs of growing frustration which discount like not being a result for decades you must understand azerbaijan is much stronger than i mean it's bigger it's has no money is military power so the president always about john made some remarks in germany however i saw him in your neck of the security conference saying that he doesn't want any compromise but if he spoke to the prime minister i mean you know question on who suggested to negotiate but as a by john was not willing to yield so we've compromise is not looking likely is could there be another return to war on the cards from. well we already have

some kind of world low intensity of war on the border which is probably the biggest . since since in 1904 i do not think we will see a full scale war just like 30 years ago because russia a very important player is supporting armenia russia has a military base in armenia and i do not saying that russia will just watch those 2 countries go to war. we will also have we are also having turkey which is very very loud in supporting azerbaijan but i still do not think that we will see a full 'd scale war at this moment but this is a very very long conflict which started hundreds of years ago and basically it is a land and lot if you want conflict which which is very difficult stories old. from day doubling his russian department think and to think with you thank you. to

bill a verse now where tens of thousands have again been protesting leader alexander lukashenko his role his opponents are calling this opposition leader svetlana take on all scales inauguration day from lithuania way she's in exile to take and also posted this photo on her telegram account last night symbolically taking the oath of office now protesters maintain that she is the real winner of the august election that lucas claimed victory again and they have taken to the streets of minsk to mark the occasion or the authorities were determined to stop today's protests in the city the interior ministry says it's detained around $200.00 people. let's go to minsk now and speak to our correspondent nick connelly day hi nick you've been out on the streets today is the 50th day of these demonstrations what's the turnout been like is there any signs that it's shrinking. because you can see it's been a filthy day here rain and really going to real time no cold so as i was walking to

join protest is the report on this march today it seemed like maybe this was going to be a bit of a damp squib you saw people looking around at each other wondering whether this would be the weekend these protests basically fizzled out but that wasn't the case the route was a bit different police as always making it difficult for justice to come out of town so once they'd found their way to each other because of the internet is also severely blocked year on these protests somebody to be able to communicate once they have found to that the crowd was bigger and bigger than last week a sense that perhaps this inauguration had really angered the russian so she said they were willing to come out and risk arrest. and this kind of weather and given that people are braving this weather to turn out to turn out on the streets we mentioned earlier that it was. a symbolic inauguration day given that the crowds don't seem to be dampened yet is it safe to say that she does have. a lot of

support still. she definitely is someone that lets people identify with. today's. protest is wearing a burger king and restaurant crowns as a joke as a kind of sign of. how they react to. last week i think the bigger picture is that she was always someone who was just a transitional figure she said that she is not a politician she. husband who. was put in prison by the regime here and she is someone who would allow elections fresh elections fair elections to happen and to pave the way for transition but someone who is supported by many but not the only and the kind of unique leader of these protests these person we need a single leader these people organizing themselves without a party hierarchy without anyone telling what to do this is much broader than that . and so given that these there is no single leader within what's the likelihood

that these protests will continue in the strength that they have gone the last 15 days. i'm kind of missing my crystal ball right now it's very difficult every time that these protests seem to be reducing in size then the belorussians come and surprise us every time the police comes in and makes mass arrests it seems like the next week there are more people out on the streets i think alexander lukashenko has no idea what this is going off 26 years in power and in his 6 after that integration last week the secret inauguration in which he didn't even have any russian gas level international gas at that event i think for now it seems that the regime does have some stability so reserves or civility the security services are still open now but you know this massive police presence is costing them huge amounts of money choice and keep those people and other hand the protest to show no real sign of being intimidated by anything the government could throw at them and for now when you talk and they say we we we're tired of being afraid we are not going to go back to sitting home and keeping quiet nick connelly in minsk thank you

nick. for it is in switzerland have rejected a proposal to reduce immigration from european union countries switzerland isn't a member of the e.u. but under current agreements in you citizens can live and work in switzerland and vice versa results show almost 62 percent of referendum participants voted against the measure which was put forward by the populace we speak with potty. in switzerland if you want to change the law you have to put it to a vote one issue on sunday's ballots an initiative put forward by the populist swiss people's party it would limit the number of e.u. citizens who are allowed to live and work freely in the country the party claimed having too many e.u. immigrants would diminish the wealth of swiss citizen if passed it would put a strain on the economic relationship between switzerland and the e.u. and also limit free movement from millions of swiss citizens but a recent poll by the national t.v.

station as our air shows more than 60 percent voted against the measure. this initiative goes against my convictions it is part of the ongoing sabotage of bilateral agreements by the swiss people's party i'm not at all in favor even less now because this is not the time to isolate switzerland for the state but if switzerland had to withdraw from these agreements i think we would be the real losers we live in a time where people are trying to scare us so we crouch in the corner the coronavirus is not helping with this and when it comes to globalization people tend to say we need to shut it down but i do not think this is a solution for me like say as well as. a number of other issues were also on the ballot including the purchase of new fighter jets the right to hunt wolves to keep their population down and whether to have 2 weeks of paternity leave the latter motion unlike the move to end free movement with the e.u.

sometimes. it makes people. liberate the 30th anniversary of. october 3rd on d w. according to my fitness trek i've already taken $2628.00 steps today and i got 7 hours of deep sleep that's about average this devise can even determine my mood seriously but is that really a good thing how healthy is self optimization i would topic today on shift.

do i get enough exercise to eat the right food have i had enough water today am i relaxed enough according to a recent survey about 33 percent of the global population has already tried out digital health records the market for fitness wearables has tripled since 2017 and it looks set to grow much more say experts why are we so obsessed with self improvement and is there something wrong with this not according to a psychologist you would have mongst off principia is just the principle in southampton ization is a part of our need to keep developing further which is one of the human fundamental needs it's part of all of us but there is a difference when we talk about self optimisation this entails reaching optimum capacity or reaching a certain go along and this is often linked to self value and status visits to be a top when. we try to. it fits and eats better to improve our bodies but what about

our minds well also apps and gadgets that contract mental well being and in these times of crisis many are starting to use such trackers but how do they work i took a closer look. at how question the world is often it's also what i've been asking myself for days now i've been using delio to track my mood in the morning at midday and in the evening i can choose from 5 emotions this morning i would say that i'm good. i tell delio what i'm doing i'm feeling and the app translates the data into statistics. they're holding the riot triggers available online they are almost like digital diaries a place to record and a cavity. evaluate this information and draw conclusions about psychological health . can't really analyze the uses. a

person can have so many different emotions feelings are very complex and these apps can simplify complex matters in such a way that they might be useful. delio can only drag my mood when i'm using it actively it doesn't know what happens in between and that information doesn't turn up in the statistics. i don't think the ad was that useful for me personally but it could be helpful to record one's daily activity in order to recognize certain patterns but to do so you already have to know yourself quite well that. the take other factors into account that quite a bit. in the office it's time for the next test feel wristbands can measure the sweat on the user skin this information will be linked to mood

related to data. i will put my mood into the app now and that's a joyous because i get to see my colleagues the wristband wanted to some biometric data on my blood pressure for example and translates them into emotional pedants i will recognize them when i'm joyous in the future. i don't know how precise these measurements are but on the basis of my responses to questions about concrete situations be able to propose certain mindfulness exercises there are all kinds of variables such as these on the market now some claim that they can recognize or use emotions through there was others detect and measure brain activity all these headbands wristbands readings measure physical data and give advice on how to improve mental health some even say that they can help people to overcome depression but you did most of have some warning worse in this regard. we should remember that we should never transfer responsibility for our own life and psychological wellbeing or health to

a digital app it can be helpful to use them but it's very important not to use them responsibly and to be aware of the risks that afflict. after work i like to switch off and this muse had been says it can help according to the makers it uses 7 senses to detect the brain's electrical activity which it then transforms into understandable experiences so the user can wind down and meditate if i'm not calm i will hear sounds of a storm which will remind me to concentrate on my breathing if i'm feeling calm i will heal. i can hear some very light rain and some wind. and from time to time this is the way that indicates that i'm really relaxed right now over. what i'm talking when it's getting heavy on the way in favor of being true so i think a bit of concentrated. i

would say the. a new trick is going to help people to go about their everyday life in a more mindful way but it is important to not relinquish full control and to not take them and the exercises they prescribe too seriously i doubt that such gadgets can really have users with serious mental health issues for now people can still decide themselves whether they want to use these quantified self apps and devices but what if they didn't have a choice what if their employers ordered them to use a more tracker. lots of work multitasking and difficult exercise is this is daily life that tiny a start up based in munich the founders vision of the future is one where employees only receive as much work as they can actually carry out the idea is that software should a lot their workload automatically so that the software can do this please have to wear a device that measures the polls all the time and there's a camera there films their faces the idea is to measure their stress levels and

emotional states and then their workload can be calculated mio is one of the developers he says he's not interested in surveillance or storing data but in flow . is its will this can be described as the perfect state between the feeling of being under challenge to the board and the opposite which is being stressed in that place in between when someone is challenged can cope with the task in hand is flight flow. but do we really want a world in which software can get such a deep insight into an employee's emotional state the absolute select from the german research center for artificial intelligence things not. don't want a situation in which such software leads to the surveillance of employees with the result that someone might be fired if they don't perform adequately or if they're going through a rough patch personally and the system detects that it's with subsequent negative

consequences. this has to be prevented. at this munich startup employees have to actively agree to be tracked but will this always be the case these systems force people to share intimate information how is the data used and by whom. of course apps must collect data to quantify progress for example in health related research apple has collaborated with academics and published a variety of studies based on data collected by volunteers and this model watches that might sound like a win win situation but i'm not so sure about giving that much personal information to a private company. health trackers collected data when users are sleeping eating and exercising but they also gather other information for example regarding location users often have no idea what is done with their data benedict book now is a lawyer who says the terms of use are frequently formulated in

a very vague way. many companies are just connecting information and don't even know what they want to do with it but sooner or later there will be some kind of commercial use for the data right now data is already being sold for targeted advertising to certain groups and individuals health insurance companies are also very interested in such data some of them are already offering cheaper rates to policyholders who agree to track their own health related data the system for this is great for those who are healthy it's not so great for those who are not in the end it leads to people being selected according to their risks to the. user should think very carefully about the amount of personal information they're willing to divulge to some shops data protection is obviously a big issue but do the apps even do what they say they will there are all kinds of new fitness apps and gadgets flooding the market they're supposed to encourage us

to exercise more without a trainer but do they really work. defense version of there is a wealth of research into the question of whether it makes a difference if a person uses an app and tracks their activity or not and so far what it's showing is that it makes a huge difference to people's motivation many are more likely to commit themselves to their health and stick to it if they track their activity and see visible progress but it is not yet been proven that this actually makes an impact on health and whether users really do more exercise we just don't know that yet. in addition some fitness apps can actually increase the risk of physical damage artificial intelligence and instructions ideas can help people tailor physical activity to their own needs so that people are more likely to hurt themselves if they do the exercises wrongly and can't ask a real life instructor for advice. if the user wants to do

something right there is a lot of work involved and good trainer will have a certain experience that i'm. trainers made of flesh and blood still have an important role to play. and that doesn't just go for fitness apps even small devices can have huge drawbacks a friend of mine wanted to track all the stations obviously to optimize his sleeping pattern but he got sore stressed out by the whole process that in the end he couldn't sleep at all and that might be helpful for some but not for others it's very important to find the one that's right for you this is what the expert says you don't mention is that an individual or person is unique and not even the best can map all the highly individualized elements that make a person and help them to develop an app make suggestions based on the aggregated

data so it can never be tailored precisely to just one individual basically no user should ever follow is just blindly but always ask whether it really makes sense for them personally. however for a person in crisis any kind of support is better than none at all so even if it would make more sense to talk to a professional and out with at least give an indication of the direction somebody wants to move in and how they might want to develop so i would say use the apps but make sure you always question their advice. about. hard. what about you have you used fitness apps and have they helped you reach your goals. on social media on w dot com if you want to find out more about these gadgets check out our you tube channel for now and.
