Barend de Arend Posted April 12, 2016 Share True.I think the peak performance test is a lot more valuable then the ridiculous "step on and off a box for a minute" test that they do endorse! I do that without hitting tripple digits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Marley Posted April 12, 2016 Share If you want to cheat the system you'll find a way. I have a faulty HR strap that reads a HR of around 220 when I'm doing nothing.Can put it on for 30min watch TV and Kaching... POINTS. Vitality have gone from 1 extreme to the other.They'll need to find a happy medium.My old polar strap used to do this. Maybe I need to bring her out when I'm short on points.

Sandro Posted April 12, 2016 Share This rewards system has become the biggest dog show, they're so paranoid about people cheating the system, but now if you swipe your gym card and have a coffee at gym 3 or 4 times a week you get 100 points each time and meet your target every week without breaking a sweat. Meantime people like Daryl Impey going on 4 hour rides get the same points. A full Ironman is 300 points. Hilarious.

Sandro Posted April 12, 2016 Share I understand what you're saying but stop worrying about other people. Are you battling to achieve the weekly target? No, I go to gym (and actually train there) a few times a week and with my weekend rides I get points so I'm more than ok. The problem lies with people who don't like gym and train via HR. we all know that training for extensive periods at 80% max HR is not easy when you're fit. So the people actually putting in the real work aren't benefiting from what I see. jcza and BarHugger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted April 12, 2016 Share I understand what you're saying but stop worrying about other people. Are you battling to achieve the weekly target? Naa its still fine for now, I do the ironmanparkrun every weekend and get 300 points for that excluding all the runs and cycles. I generally make workouts private to prevent them raising it too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's far from extensive and should be easy for pretty much anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I have a big issue with. samson99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
