Not strictly running related but........

For those of you that do Kettlebells what do you do about activity trackers?

I wear my Garmin on my left wrist and am really worried about damaging it. This morning's workout was ok as I was just really careful when I racked it (felt a bit awkward though!). Some of the workouts I do have snatches and I can't see that I can do them without smashing my lovely new watch

I don’t wear it. So far haven’t tracked it because of that reason. You can add in a manual entry into Garmin if you want to. x

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

I was in two minds whether to take it off! Do you manually add in calorie burns?x

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

I haven’t so far but you can. I add into MFP. x

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

My calorie burns are pretty pants anyway because I'm small so I have MFP set up at what I know is my maintenance and don't add in any exercise burns.

It's funny because when I got the watch I said I was only going to wear it for running but have absolutely fallen in love with all the other stuff it does 😂

I’m not wearing mine today as it’s a ‘rest’ day. Feel naked without it’s massive face on my wrist! 😅 x

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Can't really take mine off now as I've got a huge tan-line 😂😂

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

Me too and T-shirt tan lines!! Must mean we’re proper runners?!! 🏃🏻‍♀️ 💪🏼😂

At the weekend my Mum asked me how I'd got the back of my legs so tanned and I very proudly announced "running".

She's on some crazy diet 5:2 and eating less than 1000 calories even on non-fasting days so I keep trying to persuade her that getting active would be a better way to go. The tan may just clinch it for her 😂

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

That is low! I love eating too much!! 😬😬

[pianoteacher Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

It's ridiculously low - dangerous IMO! Unfortunately I grew up with the same sort of attitude - lived on coffee and cigarettes in my late teens and early 20s 🤢 Luckily I discovered how to stay slim healthily and ditch the starvation tactics

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to pianoteacher]

Oh gosh - good for you! xx

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Gosh is it a delicate watch? Take it off? My Garmin is hardcore rubber so I can do anything in it!!

I wear my fenix 5 in the gym but take it off for certain machines as I find afterwards I get bruises on my inner wrist from wrist pump or banging it on machines, never notice it at the time just afterwards. I don't track workouts as it seems pointless and innacurate plus my workouts are multiple cardio ie row, cycle, stepper etc etc and then weights it would be a pain to enter them all.
