Smart-/Fitness-Watches gibt es viele. Wer nutzt eine und wie macht ihr das mit dem Datenschutz? Ich werde mal die HUAWEI WATCH D einem Praxistest unterziehen. Natürlich auch die App.
I’ve got a three year old Fitbit and I’m thinking of replacing it and wondering if I should get an Apple Watch. I mainly care about step counting (I walk about 6 miles per day).
I don’t care too much about fancy features, and I probably trust Apple more than Google at this point.
First 10k and my PB so far. My net time was 01:02:12, i.e. a pace of 6'13"/km
My best training time so far has been 6'25"/km in 9 km, so I'm satisfied with my performance!
People cheering while passing by is a great motivational boost.
Any one have some suggestions for health/fitness/longevity podcasts of that are interesting and not full of woo woo? Now that I'm in more of a fitness mindset and I've dropped some tech podcasts that I just wasn't enjoying any longer I've been trying to find more high quality fitness podcasts. I'm coming up somewhat empty though. The top results in my podcast app, Downcast, seems to be full of the usual trendy, influencer, pseudo-science laden crap. "Superfood" this and "what 'they' don't want you to know" that. Carnivore diet this, raw food vegan that, and again "the things 'they' don't want you to know" BS again. I lost a few back in my last fitness focus days of 2012-2014 to their parroting of anti-vax nonsense, buying into whacky stuff about magnetic fields, and pushing bizarre unfounded supplementation strategy. A few others seem to have regressed into the above categories since then and others just don't exist any longer. The only ones I have right now in regular rotation is Marathon Training Academy and probably 1/3 the episodes interest me from No Meat Athlete, and Rich Roll. I just add "Docs Who Lift" after seeing one of them on a Youtube video that I thought they did a good job on. Any others you all love? #health#fitness#running#podcasts#MarathonTrainingAcademy
Let’s get personal, shall we? I’ve been here a while now, and as I’m feeling quite comfortable at Mastodon, I’d like to share a bit more about myself beyond my passion for the climate and the environment.
To begin with, I’m a male, he/him, hetero, strongly supporting LGBTQ rights. I’m a baby boomer, born at 312 PPM 🌏, a United Statesian, although I lived in Europe (mostly Hungary) for several years, and traveled extensively for work before retiring in 2012. I’ve never been good at sustaining long-term romantic relationships, and I’ve finally settled into comfortable singlehood.
I like to say I’m made of contrasts.
For example, I’m rather funny and quite personable, but I don’t enjoy small talk and I hate parties. I currently live in the Bible Belt, but I’m an outspoken atheist. While I can easily fit into most social situations, I don’t feel comfortable around large groups and prefer being alone most of the time. I live near two huge military bases, but I detest the USA’s militaristic, troop-worshiping culture. I’m almost always cheerful, which masks my deeply felt existential nihilism. I’m a neat freak, but also rather lazy, preferring fun over work.
I’ll finish up with some hashtags to add flavor...
Just been for a power walk in the spring sunshine. Tom has been telling me off for exercising while I’ve got a cold, but I’m thinking that you can’t pause for every minor virus. What does my #running#fitness crew say?
#intervalrunning with 4:1: intervals (4' slow pace, 1' fast pace) x6
I'm getting faster but I have to weigh this with a grain of salt because yesterday I took an unplanned rest day. Rest days considerably and positively affect my performance.
Mmmh, now wondering if I should take 2 consecutive rest days before my 10k race on March 17th.
My #morningrun didn't go as planned today. Temperature was -5°C and my old phone suddenly drained its battery at km 4. I really need a new one 😭!
So I went back, but with no music to keep me focused I stopped after 2ish km.
I must have run for about 6 km only.
Little 20 minute #peloton interval run. I’m still not that fit, when she says “run at an RPE of 5” then she says, “You should be easily able to hold a conversation at this pace” I’m like WHAT??? My legs can do it but my lungs aren’t on board with the programme #running#fitness#FitnessJourney

I used to have a list of sites that I go to but lost it in the migration. I visit examine regularly for nutrition. Exrx has tons of information but after a while, it gets overwhelming for me when navigating the site. I used to love simple science fitness but not anymore cause the content doesn’t feel simple anymore. I love...
I expect these numbers to fall dramatically in February; I’ll be off on a special project three days a week, plus a week (we’re shooting a movie- Shhh!).
I haven't figured out how to track the #AppleFitness stuff yet; per exercise feels like it will add a lot of columns. Maybe number of exercises/time?
Not my fastest 10k but I had fun. Like a crazy lady I sang for 8 km 😂, then I decided to pick up the pace a bit for the last 2 km.
It was raining, windy and most alleys in the park were blocked due to a triathlon competition.
So no star shape either today 😞.
Nevertheless the good thing with bad weather is less groups of people going for a walk and taking up the whole alley width.
What sites/apps do you rely on on your fitness journey?
