Frosty Posted July 30, 2019 Share Ended up at the doctor this morning with an irritating cough and a tight chest. So that means 10 visits to gym to “clock in”, from today, before I can resume training again. #bettersafethansorry Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craai Posted July 30, 2019 Share Ended up at the doctor this morning with an irritating cough and a tight chest. So that means 10 visits to gym to “clock in”, from today, before I can resume training again. #bettersafethansorryHad the same a month ago; instead of 7 dodgy gym swipes (leaving me still 200 points short) I whip out my trusty (but dodgy) HR strap that clocks my heart at 190bpm while watching TV on the couch. I know I can probably do the old garmin HR trick where you wear it for a minute at high HR and then take it off, but I suspect Disco will find a way at some point to counter this slickjay007, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Blokman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reme Le Hane Posted July 30, 2019 Share Yeah, I was sick one weekend, pulled a ride from 3m back, had my 300 in like 30 minutes. Would use these tricks cautiously, but I was just mostly surprised that it actually worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, good to have a back up plan for when flu strikes again ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reme Le Hane Posted July 30, 2019 Share I’m surprised, would have thought it would be seen as a manual activity. Oh well, good to have a back up plan for when flu strikes again [emoji39]Creating it would be manual, but your uploading a fit file which as far as I know only garmin uses, but either way it's a file that was generated by a garmin with a garmin device id uploaded to garmin. Assuming you change nothing else they'd be none the wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccc whippet Posted July 31, 2019 Share I had to visit the doc on Monday...from popping the odd disprin ...to 16 pills day...i was asked to sign a document...no document to read just a computerised signing pad...feeling the way i did on monday (was feeling really crap) just signed it. Today i get an email with the document i was suppose to read before signing...like most things in SA ...i can only laugh...maybe they should send the document to you so that you can first read it then respond. "We have received your consent on the HealthID application on 2019/07/29" The T&C's are rather interesting...as it points out in no 7 ...i had the opportunity to read or had it read to me ...there was no document ...how ignorant are we to just sign these documents...and what rights i have i signed away. I wouldnt wish whatever it was that i have had for the past 5 days on anyone...today i woke up coughing...nose running and sweating ...but feeling much better...on Monday i slept on off for almost 48 hours.

I would reply to that email, stating that:1) you were NOT given the opportunity to read the document,2) the document was NOT read, nor explained to you. I detest having to sign stuff that you "cant read" ... that includes not getting a copy to read AND given a fine print encyclopedia which a normal person can decypher in any case ....

amabacha Posted August 1, 2019 Share Perhaps I should also follow this route. A month before I was ported to Discovery Bank they took R400-odd for the annual Discovery Miles fee, a month later Miles seize to exist under Discovery Bank. What a damn waste.New to this forum. I queried the same with a banker. It seems we will be refunded pro-rata for the annual fee as Miles has been paused till the new "e-money" version of Miles launches in Sept bertusras, cat-i and shaper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted August 2, 2019 Share Anyone know how to link/manage devices on the new mobile app? Problem is that I need to link my Samsung Health app. I managed to delink (dumb, I know), but now I need to link it again. The button I used to manage links is gone now that it's unlinked.
