What does Jow Forums think of the current trend of digital fitness using live and on-demand studio workouts on bicycles and treadmills with built-in 32 inch touchscreens that allow you to participate in live studio workouts instead of actually going to the gym?
Is this the future of live instructor fitness training using digital video over the internet combined with a device that sends your data to the community while tracking your heartrate, speed, etc?
Would Jow Forums use this or is a Fitbit enough for you?
>breaker trips >hamster band sudden halts >head through built-in 32 inch touchscreen yeah, nope

You must be one of those people that is afraid of doing anything because you saw Final Destination

Anybody who has at least a gram of brain in their skull would see that it's useless.

I just go to an actual gym and it turns out my workout routine has no place for 32 inch touchscreen.
Nathaniel Bell
>I just go to an actual gym sounds gay desu
Parker Lopez
>combined with a device that sends your data to the community what, like an ankle-band monitoring device, with the added twist, 'you pay for it!' - you mean? Add in Echo grunt monitoring and group synchronization, Good Business Plan, y'ask me. Apart form the fact that ppl goto 'fitness centres' because narcissists or pickup artists, that bits not so much fun home alone with treadmill
better hit the treadmill before your doritos-filled heart explodes by 35, you sad piece of lard
Ryan Collins
I want the camera she uses.
Leo Rivera
Should be right up your alley then

>current trend of digital fitness There's no such trend. It's just marketing. >need big machine in a dedicated room >submitting data to botnet all the time vs >put in a pair of running shoes which takes close to no space in the closet when not in use >go outside >run
if you're going to invest in fitness at home then a pair of plain old dumbbells is a much better choice. That's all you need.
All this "heart rate" and other monitoring stuff is stupid anyways. Either you run or you don't. Either you lift or you don't. You know if you did or didn't, no technology's needed to clarify that for you. Calling this useless technology hyped by youtube celebrities a trend is silly, it's not, nobody who actually runs or lifts uses that kind of garbage.
my apartment complex has one of the 'community centers' that got treadmills should I use that crap? I don't want people to see me do stuff though, which is why I don't run or exercise outside of my apartment

what more do you need at home? there's a squat-rack and a bar and weights at the gym. having all that at home requires a dedicated room or a garage.
Jace Gray
This running program is ass, because you keep having to remember all the times.
It's easier to just run somewhere, walk for a few minutes, and then run back. And increase the amount of minutes you run every time.
Sure, you might take a week longer to git gud, but you don't have to keep track of some ridiculous running and walking times.
Charles Adams
If you have a gym membership anyway, you don't need dumbbells at home. If you don't have a gym membership, you're going to need more than just "a pair of dumbbells" at home. What's your point?
Elijah Wood
Why are normalfags so fucking retarded.
ME SEE SOMEONE DOING THING; ME DO THE SAME
Angel Young
>What's your point? that you don't need a treadmill with a 32 inch touchscreen regardless of you trying to get fit at home or at a gym
Carter Brown
There are audio tracks made for the program. And since when is using a stopwatch so difficult?
John Murphy
I agree with that, but what's the point of this >If you're going to invest in fitness at home then a pair of plain old dumbbells is a much better choice. That's all you need.
Ryan Brown
I do have a pair of dumbbells next to my desk. I don't have a treadmill with a touchscreen. I stand by that choice.
I also have a pink gymball. Don't ask.
Ryan Lopez
runners are gay and I eat better than you do
Jose Wright
with normal jogging you have to plan a loop so that you arrive back at your starting point also it puts you in a position where you are both exhausted and far from home grated a mugger only has your shoes to steal
Charles Davis
>I don't want people to see me do stuff though, which is why I don't run or exercise outside of my apartment Sounds like the OP device is perfect for you
>Unironically owning a threadmill Just go outside and take walks/jog you fucking fatass.
Joseph Clark
She actually gets sponsored, though
Isaac Kelly
You are blind if you think there is no such trend. For years, just about every serious cyclist will has had a GPS-capable bike computer that records their rides for uploading to Strava or a similar service. Lots of casuals do the same thing with their smartphones.
Anyone training to compete can reap huge benefits from structured workouts that are programmed into a device to direct the athlete in real time. For casuals just trying to avoid ballooning in weight, the benefits are marginal, meaning the device in the OP is a largely unjustifiable extravagance, but the underlying trend is a very real thing.
Leo Garcia
I can tell you've never exercised in your life.
Jacob Anderson
the entire point of technology is you don't have to do any thing physical or have sex and just watch porn.
Ethan Phillips
no
Luis Diaz
And then you die of heartache.

There are a few slight benefits to doing cardio, but it's generally overdone by fitness retards and there's no need for touchscreens and cardio "workouts" of any specific variety. Literally just bike or jog twice a week for a total of an hour.
Too much cardio is indistinguishable from heart disease. You are literally overusing your heart and essentially making yourself live a shorter life as a result.
Eat meat, lift and cardio in moderation. This is all you need.
Ian Rivera
>Literally just bike or jog twice a week for a total of an hour. Exactly my view on touchscreens and "fitness trackers" and all that bullshit. Either you went for a run or you didn't. It's not like you need some device to know if you went to the gym or decided to fat on the sofa.
>buying some retarded equipment overpriced more than apple garbage >as opposed to buying cheap running shoes and going outside for free fucking lmao, not to mention the latter is therapeutic and fun, unlike running indoors in place like a fucking retard
fucking el mayo haha brb gotta run my daily 5K
Zachary Perez
standing for hours is just as bad as sitting for hours literally just take breaks every 20-40 minutes
Gavin Baker

The only reason for fit tech is to catch some gimmick to keep you interested in working out for a while.
Best suggestion I can say to get is something that lets you keep your phone on you. It has your music, emergency contacts, and a stop watch. I hate the arm bands even though I've used them for years, but there are now phone fanny packs which are much better for me.
>studio workouts are the future Go throw some iron or get on some military calisthenics. Workout tapes distract you from the workout itself while you try to keep up with it and doesn't even offer the advantage of working with a trainer where they can correct your form and tailor the workout to your needs.
Cooper Jones
t. never had a job requiring you to stand for 8 hours straight it actually ruins you much quicker than sitting, though sitting is deadlier in the long run
Jose Hughes
Surprise, house arrest offenders do have to pay for their ankle bands. It's actually rented, and once you're late on a payment, you go to jail.
Source: my brother's a little bitch that can't go to jail for his own actions, but also couldn't hold on to money because he liked drugs too much.
Jeremiah Wright
>It's actually rented late-stage capitalism, ladies an gennelman. You should investigate the fucker tho (the band, not the wearing sibling obv) - gotta be great money in a 'clone and (temp) disable original' service. They cannot be all that fucking complicated if the guv'ment is involved
Ryder Hall
How much is this cardioshit? A good setup with BRAND NEW OLY WEIGHTS AND BARS, power cage and all, will run you $2,000 at the most and last generations unless you're an absolute BLOATMAXX that you bend bars on the regular. Secondhand stuff will cost you about $700. Chaingyms will cost you $40 a month on average. You literally can cardio for free (>killing your gains) by running outside. If weight loss is your goal you fat fuck just fucking eat less.
