    Simultaneously run the Garmin. Makes for interesting comparisons on Strava

    You must have me mistaken for Rip van Winkle. Club Vitality did not exist in 2000. back to Vitality. Bio told me to be patient w.r.t. the Fitness assessment points. They should take me to just over 32K points. Just need to remember that a lack of patience leads to an abundance of patients

    Does not look as if you were on 19 October, but then women see themselves as more out of shape than they are, and men see themselves as more IN shape than they are

    No Vitality points there. Just a bunch of leering old fools wanting to do some eye-fondling

    Shoe benefit is capped at the first R2000. Whether that is for the year, or per pair of shoes I do not know. edit: misread on my side "Cash back applies to the first R2 000 of the retail price of the running shoes."
  10. 'Kaze Pete
    If you have the SMW booster (whatever they call it) you get money back fir the purchase of the shoes, offsetting the R300. Also, the R300 shoe booster includes Club Vitaly membership (not Provincial Athletics license though)... a few more discount vouchers (largely useless?) included

    And do a lower back rotational test, as well as a shoulder flexibility test

    The pharmacy had system issues. So I paid, and claimed back

    I use the assessments as my annual health checks, so surely good. The chasing Active Rewards points chasing is about more than just free smoothies / coffees / cheap wraps! It pays for Discounts on some sports equipment / clothing (cash back on whatever qualifying purchases)100% free gym membership (My selfpayment of 20% - R181/month - is free as well)"Free" Apple watch (R245/month)"Free" runnning shoes (up to R166/month) - I'm waiting for the 14th to get mineAdd all of that up, and it come to quite a tidy sum of money a month, excluding the ~ R70 worth of smoothies a week.

    Fitness assessment done. They do some basic flexibility tests, and then a progressive test on a WattBike. Started off with an initial target of 55watts, and the target increments every minute or so until you reach reach a set HR target. Easy-peasy! Luckily for most of us these tests are aimed at not inducing heart attacks in the severely unfit and overweight population! I should score another full set of Vitality points
  15. 'Kaze Pete
    I did mine near fasted. Cuppa Joe at 06:15 and tests at 9:30
  16. 'Kaze Pete
    ...which I've already posted about on the previous page...? One, the Vitality Health Check (This consist of the normal vitals check as well as a HIV+ test. Price split roughly half each) and second the Vitality Fitness Assessments. These are two different tests. First one done by a nurse, and the second by a biokineticist. Each with an individual price tag. This is the way is has always been. If Disco HO offers the option to do both in one go (wellness day style), it still does not detract from the fact that these are two different events (Individually priced as well) on the Vitality points log.

    Was in detention for not riding yesterday. Had to spend an hour on the WimpBike ???? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170109/9522f933d58302054897660e3f9d9560.jpg

    Bio does the fitness side. The health assessment was done by the nurse at the pharmacy. Price for that was R493(Full cholesterol counts, BP, Sugar, BMI stuff) + HIV test, but my medical aid (managed by Discovery) pays for that
  19. 'Kaze Pete
    R375 was my quote from the bio this afternoon?

    It must have been a mystery parcel by express surface mail for the bloke in the Sky kit
  21. 'Kaze Pete
    At the moment I'm OK for 5km runs (parkruns), but start too fast (lots of fast rabbits to catch, and memories of being faster and fitter) and then my lungs go for a tea break around the 2km mark.... Run / walk / huff / puff the rest of the way for me. Fully understand, but running is a tough mistress to have. She demands attention every single day as well as a LOT of patience, so just keep chipping away at those 2kms and you'll get to run further!
  22. 'Kaze Pete
    On another note: did my health assessment at the pharmacy this morning and obtained a full 100% of the possible 20K points! The nurse did fudge my weight downward by a bit (by like 6kg....) but it should not have made a difference as they added waist circumference as an additional factor for higher BMIs. Luckily I do not have a "boep" "Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9 OR BMI between 25 – 29.9, and a waist circumference of less than 94cm for males and less than 80cm for females"
  23. 'Kaze Pete
    Discovery does not recognise Strava as a data source. They accept HR data from the sources as per this link make sure to use an app that will feed data into one of those streams and you should be sorted
  24. 'Kaze Pete
    The website is vague on when during 2017 it will happen. Hopefully sooner than August?
  25. 'Kaze Pete
    You are not alone. I have the Latest app as per App Store (v 4.7.0 as release on 1 Jan). Shows points up to 31 Dec, but on the Active Reward option shows correctly.
