Update: The best option for tracking steps is watch around the ankle. Thanks for all the recs. Why don’t you walk on over to that like button bucko 🤠

Bro, please keep making videos. It's really enjoyable watching them

Thank you very much (: this means a lot to me. Almost done with the next video!

fitbit flex 2 with an ankle strap is the best ive found for accurately tracking steps.

What do you think of red and near infrared light therapy? I purchased one of those lights recently and so far I like it. That walking pad looks a little too narrow as well. I won’t get that one :)

I have a red light device that I have been using mostly to try to heal up a gnarley ankle tear that I’m still recovering from but it has improved greatly. What’s your experience with it ? For the walking pad - I actually like how narrow it is cuz it takes up less space that way. but otherwise there seems to be better options out there!

did you adjust the tightness of the belt? if you’ve got that “jolt,” that typically means it’s not tight enough. just got mine today and gave it a try; we’ll see how it goes after a month.

I saw someone put their watch on their ankles instead, to count their steps better

I do this and it works great! I had to swap the watch band tho, because my ankles were too thick for the ones I was using before.

Ideally, use it when watching a film/episode or listening to a podcast.

You can get an ankle step counter pretty cheap like $10. Another option is do the math: steps per mile * mph * time. Then just determine how much time you need for step goal. I'm shopping for one now. Sedentary lifestyle led to pulmonary blood clot. 3 days in hospital, blood thinners. I need one that supports 270#, won't break after 3mo, or break the bank.

Put your watch on the ankle to count steps

Yeah that’s a great alternative, I actually put that in shorts video about it (: still don’t prefer to do that but is an option

@d4-6n 5 ай бұрын

Putting your phone in your pocket might be an alternative. Assuming it contributes to step data. It relies less on a swing movement compared to a [smart] watch since phones are not expected to be in your hands while walking

@god563616 2 ай бұрын

I use Google fit from my phone while walking which is connected to my watch and it syncs perfect.

@JayFriedrichs 2 ай бұрын

It’s not an issue of syncing. It’s an issue of hands not moving when on the desk

@@JayFriedrichsput your phone in your pocket on your pants. Use any kind of step counting app on there - voila. On iPhones you can set the priority (like phone counts 1 step, watch counts 0 it usually takes the 0 from the watch, but you can reverse the priority order)

Could you incline this walking pad by raising it on something? Thanks

@woodstream6137 19 күн бұрын

You might be able to get away with it but it could stress the motor or cause it to leak lubricant.

I place my apple watch in a fanny pack or my pocket - solves tracking steps accurately.

@JayFriedrichs Ай бұрын

That wouldn’t work accurately because the accelerometer wouldn’t pick up movement. Might as well keep it on ur wrist at that point

So many miles, curious to hear if you find a replacement. I'm shopping for one right know. Needs to support 270# and hopefully pay without breaking the bank
