I’ve been trying to take gym stuff more seriously lately and sometimes something like a fitbit seems like a great idea, are there any that don’t just harvest you for minimal utility on your end?
Sorry if this has be answered before but I think searching is still weird
Part of that is ditching all of these fad / useless things/apps that only normies use. If you want to take the gym more seriously, then set up a spreadsheet with goals written down, metrics that you can evaluate those goals, and then attack. Example: “I want to lose weight”. Ok, track your calories and weight every day. If your weight isn’t going down, then eat less calories.
Fitbits give you a lot of data, but it doesn’t really give you a goal or a way to attack the goal. Doing 10k steps isn’t a goal imo, that’s a tool to attack an actual goal.
Sorry if that doesn’t make sense. I just have many family members with fitbits with the vague, general goal of “get healthy”, and nobody has because they have no goals other than “track steps”.
tldr: spreadsheets are my best friend
