    57bpm resting is a damn decent heart rate AO.
    An athlete is 40bpm and the average 80/120.

    The last few times I've gone out I turned on the GPS on me phone, but it doesn't connect.


    The timing would coincide with it having been dropped into the toilet.


    So might go for one of those wrist things. The Fitbit looks good, but it doesn't do the maps etc that I like. Apparently. Only really interested in having it on when I'm exercising. And Luluing.

    Any recommendations for one?

    Cheers.

    The next time one of your friends starts raving about their FitBit, especially if it's the kind of friend who can't shut the fuck up about their latest "find" and effectively ruins happy hour for everyone else who just wants to lose their inhibitions at the end of a tough week, feel free to stop them dead in their tracks and call them on their bullshit—because science said so.

    Or, rather, because your smartphone said so. Mother Jones points to a[at]new study[at]showing[at]that your iPhone[at]or device of choice does just a good a job, if not a better one, at doing things like tracking calories and measuring activity. So why bother with a FitBit? Essentially, it boils down to convenience—jogging, cycling, and binge eating potato chips while binge watching[at]House of Cardsare all easier when you've got free hands not encumbered by a bulky-ass smartphone—and vanity, i.e. wearing a device shows how modern and down with the times you are, etc.

    But, says Mitesh Patel, who led and authored the study, it doesn't really matter what device you're using to track activity if you're not actually using it. Which is why spending more time on healthy habits reigns over obsessing about what, if any, exercise you're actually getting.

    How do you turn GPS on, on your phone?
    Do you mean location ?
    Have you got mobile data turned on and a data package on your phone?

    I'm guessing Not

    Just need Dill to post up negative reviews of it first, to know what it doesn't do.

    You would be correct on all of that.

    ^ there you go then

    Apparently phones with A-GPS or Assisted GPS need the mobile data for them to function.

    Also phones with high end snapdragon processors work better and team up with Russian satellites.

    The Thai Samsungs I think use the exilmor(dp)chip.

    Anyway if you put your mobile data on, you should find it works a lot better, especially with that map my run app.

    Can I Use the App Without a Data Plan?

    Our app does have the ability to function without data (airplane mode, traveling abroad, no signal, etc.) if the device you are using has a native GPS chip. However, having a data signal (EDGE, 3G, LTE) definitely increases the reliability of the recording. You will be able to track an activity and create a map by Recording.

    The app does require a data connection for logging in, viewing maps and workouts (and other information within the app), and most importantly for saving recorded workouts. The app has a new local storage option that will save maps temporarily until you can find a data connection (cellular or Wi-FI), which should make it a bit easier to take advantage of the app in areas with low coverage or abroad.

    If you do not have data then the app may not function correctly, especially if your device uses Assisted GPS like iPods, iPads, and other tablets. Also, unless you have Live Tracking on, the app only uses data when saving an activity or browsing your activity history.

    Download this app to your phone and you can just buy internet per day or few daysif you want, it also has a lot of other nice features, like sending credit,validity, checking your phone number and balance, cancelling ads, change SMS language and call me back feature

    Never been a problem before, but will do it next time before splurging 1,300 baht on that Chinese watch thing, cheers.

    Forget the Feiku, this was made for you.....



    We all know a guy who spends way too much time worrying about[at]their FitBit, right?

    They’re constantly checking it, referencing it, talking about how close they are to getting their “10,000 steps.”

    He probably gets mad when one of his friends takes more steps than him, too.[at]

    Well, that guy's preoccupation with data collection is about to get a whole lot weirder in the near future.

    Because now there’s a new cousin to the FitBit designed specifically for a man’s[at]penis. (No, really.)
    It’s called[at]Lovely,[at]and it launched as an[at]IndieGogo campaign last year, but,[at]according to Mashable,[at]the creator has JUST announced that it should be available for mass market sales soon. (It’s already available for pre-order in India.)

    But it’s not only a motion tracker — it also might be the[at]nerdiest sex toy ever.

    Because[at]it tracks your sexual performance.

    The device itself is a battery-chargeable silicone ring. (Think of a hi-tech cock-ring with a surprisingly large base. It kind of looks like a baby monitor when it’s charging.)


    It can[at]function as a cock-ring[at]and as a[at]vibrator during sex, but Lovely’s real bells-and-whistles relate to how it tracks the movement of the penis during sex. It tracks[at]sexual positions, the top speed of the penis, the total number of thrusts… it even tells you how many calories were burned during the act.

    Lovely takes all of that data and sends it to an app on the guy’s phone, allowing him to perform obsessive post-mortems of his[at]sexytime and worry about whether or not his thrust ratio helped him burn off the pizza he had for lunch.

    But that’s not all. Lovely will also help the man break down his sexual performance and make suggestions for better positions and “stimulation techniques” for next time.

    I took a week after my return to get back on my "Stay active" dealio using the Samsung Health. Actually funny, working around the house and yard seems to burn WAY more calories then walking around.

    I also bought this Omron BP checker thing for my FIL but was fun to check out where I was baseline. I was 129/79. That was after a big fat NY steak and 3 Margs. . Could have been a food coma state....

    I haven't downloaded the app to my phone yet where it I can track BP over time.

    Today was a 12km bike ride and dug up 3 trees......and 2 Vodka Cranberry cocktails while I watch NASCAR at Talledega......

    Live life. Lifes too short to give up one likes and enjoys based on some doc numbers that says you will die......
