Originally posted by creekster View PostThat makes perfect sense and I can see why you would feel that way. Even so it makes me feel old and sad to hear it. I have had a foot problem for the last few months that has kept me largely off the bike and away from running or hiking or even much walking and it is killing me. I am not sure I could ever stop biking altogether though.

Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostIt is sad, but I try not to dwell on it. I'm especially bummed because had the accident not occurred, next month the missus and I would be doing a bike tour of Cuba (I really wanted to see all the old cars, Havana, and the Russian missile site that kept 10-year-old me sleepless for a couple of nights in October 1962). I'll probably get on a beach cruiser at some point, and I refuse to say "never"; just not in the foreseeable future. Sorry to hear about your maladies and hope a full recovery is in the offing.

PAC, move to Houston. There's no elevation and very few hills so I rarely get going faster than 25mph and usually am below 20 for 95% of the time since it's all flat country roads. The only thing that scares me are big trucks, but on Saturday mornings they are scarce. While I'd love some hills to climb, I also get nervous flying down them, thus why I like Houston where I just pound out mile after mile.

Rather than start a separate thread, I'll ask my question here. Does anyone here wear an Oura Ring? I like the Apple watch fitness features, and the ring seems like a nice complement, providing better sleep tracking (I won't wear my watch when sleeping) and more heart data. It gets good reviews (e.g., the NYT). But I have yet to connect with anyone who actually has one. If you do, the floor is yours...

Yes, I'm intrigued. I wear a fitbit, but I also wear a watch, so I have something on both wrists , which is somewhat annoying. I would love to switch to a ring, provided 1) it is waterproof; and 2) it wouldn't bother me to golf with it on (I have never worn a ring on my right hand, so I suppose I'd have to do a test run with a right-hand ring to see if that works for me) .Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

My 75 year old dad wears one, but I don't see the draw.
Once I separate from my employer, I doubt I will wear a fitbit. It was useful for a time to get an understanding of calorie burn and how far I needed to walk to get 10,000 steps. i will still continue with daily exercise, just won't have to hassle with wearing a fitbit.“Not the victory but the action.

Originally posted by Paperback Writer View PostI wear a fitbit because my employer has a healthy living program where I earn points that translate into gift cards. Initially, I liked the fitbit application as it gave me a general idea of calorie burn for walking and other physical activities. I would then compare calorie burn with calorie intake since I also got points for logging my meals. That information was helpful in getting a general idea of how many calories I was burning on a 3-mile walk, etc. More eye opening was the calories involved in some of the foods I was eating and really helped me to clean up my diet. I would think, do I really want to snack on some unhealthy foods once I understood how long I would need to walk to burn them off? Fitbit also motivated me to exercise daily because I was getting paid to do it.

I like the sleep data more than anything else. Fascinates me. My friend is an NP who does clinic at a sleep center 4x a month. He says he has correlated his patients' Fitbit sleep data with some sleep studies he has done and it is quite accurate.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
