Re: Fitbit
For weight loss, it is not so much about how hard you push, but that you can do it for a long time. People use that HR formula, but it is a load of bollocks and should be ignored. Weight training also helps, but it is too homoerotic for me.
For fitness, HIIT is the thing to do. It is tough going whether you are bradley wiggins or eric pickles as it scales with your fitness level, but even just a few minutes a week is really good for your heart.

40 minute is good for cardio though, I hear.

BBC News - Can three minutes of exercise a week help make you fit?
Some people don't get the fitness benefit, so will have to train normally. However, even the Dr who is in the 20% of people who don't had a improved response to insulin. And that's from what many would say was hardly any exercise over four weeks.

There was an horizon on this, but here you go.

It might be better for cardiac health but only pinpoints one area of fitness and not the different heart rate needed for weight loss. Actually I think Shard was spot on though, I read about someone dropping dead doing HIT.

Re: Fitbit
The same program also showed that walking, those who keep active constantly, 10,000 steps was great long term exercise. I seem to recall you dismissed that quite early on in the thread.

People drop dead doing any kind of exercise, maybe nobody should bother.

Re: Fitbit
I'm fat @225; could stand to lose 40 lb or more and I think it's from drinking as much as eating.. (they make it out of sugar for crissake). I'm still really strong and mean so nobody gives me any stick about it though.
6 operations in just over 4 years and all that inactive time and I just lost control of it. I used to lose 10 or 15 lbs every year walking up and down hill in deer season but arthritis finished that.
