Pure Savage Posted May 30, 2016 Author Posted May 30, 2016 So impressed with my wife, we picked up some new takkies on takealot and she went out and smashed her 30min run with an average heart rate of 178bpm. She loved that the iWatch worked without her iphone. For a full time working mom who travels and has to put up with a MAMIL, she really does not have time to fit in exercise, discovery vitality I think has worked try priotize it Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Tumbleweed, Andrew Steer and 1 other 4

Lou Zealand Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Yeah, really don't get the gym swipe bunch... they think they are clever, but the only one they're really cheating are themselves. Disco could easily start to make them swipe out too in future with a second card reader(a minimun of 45minutes later)... but then they'd probably just eat a pie and have a shower to keep themselves busy The Swipe of Shame? Surely, no amount of free smoothies is worth the humiliation of swiping the card, doing a 180 and heading straight back out...?!

In doing so meet her goal for the next week
the nerd Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 The problem is they went all out to get people to buy apple watches (which isnt a sports tracking device) to track activities and then came up with some round about way to sync your other devices (Which are ACTUAL sports tracking devices) and now they penalizing those people... Its stupid. Rad should be using a proper device, not necessarily one that Disco approves but one that accurately records data.. problem with that is, disco will change their mind next month and keep that device in the cold... My opinion and it doesn't count much, is that disco should put the whole thing on hold, come up with and actual plan on which they decide who, what and how many devices will be allowed and go from there cos this is now getting stupid.
bertusras Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 If you don't want to buy a "R3000 HRM" (AKA Garmin), you can still use Strava with a bluetooth HR Strap like the Wahoo Tickr (R1000) and still get your points. That's what I've been doing the past while since my Garmin packed up and I don't have the money for a new one at this point in time.
rad006 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 On a funny note, I should borrow a HR monitor for my Wedding Ceremony. I think I will get 3000 points for a 31 min Sermon sounds about fair based on what saying "I do" can do to your heart rate? Lexx and Pieterlab1 2

That's what I've been doing the past while since my Garmin packed up and I don't have the money for a new one at this point in time. But Strava no longer counts? I don't think the Wahoo Tickr works with S-Health then? I know the R1500 Polar H7 strap works.
Thor Buttox Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Apple watch reads off the wrist... but I'll tell my wife about the trick God, I wish I was still a teenager.. Would get the points without ever leaving my roo... Er... Oops, TMI, SORRY! Lexx and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
bertusras Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 But Strava no longer counts? I don't think the Wahoo Tickr works with S-Health then? I know the R1500 Polar H7 strap works. Record with Strava, Export GPX/TCX, Upload to Garmin Connect. Boom! Lexx and Pure Savage 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Record with Strava, Export GPX/TCX, Upload to Garmin Connect. Boom!Won't count as a legitimate exercise for vitality purposes as it's an uploaded effort...
rad006 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Won't count as a legitimate exercise for vitality purposes as it's an uploaded effort...That is what I thought and that is what the abusers were doing to get Strava unsupported.I was happy only earning 300 points for every morning ride I did.
Lexx Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Does Bryton work? Thinking of going for a jog this afternoon, and i'm using a Cardio 60 with HRM. Will upload to bryton website and see if I can link It to Strava.
bertusras Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Won't count as a legitimate exercise for vitality purposes as it's an uploaded effort... Agree to disagree http://i.imgur.com/rLji8hw.png All recorded with Strava+Tickr, downloaded as TCX, uploaded to GC, synced with Vitality. I mean c'mon seriously Myles. I wouldn't be saying that's what I've been doing if that's not what I've actually been doing. Heck, there's my profile so you can see it was recorded with Strava and not an external device.

Dexter-morgan Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I have been n swiping for the last couple of weeks, I short of kill myself doing a Crossfit workout at a box close to the VA, then take a small detour and swipe, I do not even feel guilty in the slightest way.
