The 2019 Weight Loss Thread - Workout Check-in Thread

Yeah the straps can be annoying. I've gotten pretty good at giving it a twist or two to be a bit tighter while wearing gloves. I hate it when they slip, but I don't mind that my stomach doesn't catch it anymore .

Ultimately you'll probably want one eventually though. Optical sensors have their own issues, but they have their place too. I hope to get an Apple Watch sometime this year.


Oh by the way the way I trained this week was by no means healthy or to be recommended, I was just dealing with some issues. I find it cathartic. Read up on proper heart rate training.

Polar M200 GPS

Can also recommend this. Had one before the Fitbit and Garmin watches and it is very accurate at tracking any workout.

I just prefer the watch route nowadays because it quadruples as a very accurate step counter, smart notifications means I pick up my phone a lot less and it actually gives a pretty accurate resting HR reading for the day. And it shows me the time

I see there's a Huawei pro band 3 or something at sportsman's warehouse coming or already there for R1900. Looks amazing and discovery compatible

One of the suggested HRM straps, I suppose a garmen or polar; maybe that one that can sync at later stage but I can't remember its name now.

Noy polar, but compatible with the polar app. The normal "need to carry your phone around" is the Wahoo Ticker.
The sync later one is the Ticker X.

I sync my Ticker to the polar app in order to get vitality points and it;s pretty snappy/accurate.

Goal is 1000c in 45m.

Oh man!

What a time to get cold/flu.

Basically just a runny nose and a slimy throat for now but I know it can escalate quickly so I'm going to take a day or two off and dose myself properly.

oh dear, hope you feel better soon, definitely right to take time off and dose, getting back into exercise too soon has been the cause of many body crashes for me

Trying to keep my heart rate lower. I suck at this, more rest than work here probably.
