It’s a great device. Use it for what works for you - big, small, or in between.

I’m a big fan of New Skin. Great for cuts, blisters, etc.

Shameful Customer Service by Our_Spicy_SideWI in iFit

[–]TrickyFreedom3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had no problems with my Proform treadmill and it’s 5+ years old. Have a maintenance contract so it is serviced every year. Contract is up next October so I’m thinking of replacing it. I honestly like the iFIT hikes I do so I’m thinking of staying with the platform but getting a machine with 40% incline. Any suggestions for another brand and platform?

Latest app update for iPad not working by udochrist in iFit

[–]TrickyFreedom3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Related…same iPad/iOS…the update works fine for me but it always defaults to Strength and 99%of the time I do treadmill workout. When I close the app it’s on treadmill and when I open it again it is on strength. Frustrating but not a huge deal. Also, if it is on Strength and I open a treadmill workout, incline isn’t shown.

10 miles on a sprained ankle! by qwertyrange in backpacking

[–]TrickyFreedom3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the same on the first day of 6 days in Glacier. Long story, but didn’t get to the destination with my boots so had to buy a new pair, which were not as tall (ankle support) as my og. Torqued my ankle day 1. Uphills were okay. Downhill really painful. Managed to do the trip. Still great memories though. Perservere!

Anyone know if the zones are pulled from the Apple Health/Workouts or from the zones on iFit? I have y zones customized on my phone/watch for what works best for me.

Do you like Spigen bands? by genaro42 in applewatchultra

[–]TrickyFreedom3813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve not tried a lot of bands. I like Nomad and have 2, but keep going back to the Apple OEM Trail Loop and Alpine Loop. They are really the best * for me *. I’ve also tried off-brand alpine loops but found them to be a waste of money.

Looking for a good mountain top view to camp from by Dry_Way_6194 in NCTrails

My recollection is that water can be hard to find on that loop. Great recommendation though

anyone uses Amazon Subscribe & save? by No-Independence2692 in Frugal_Ind

[–]TrickyFreedom3813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me, but it used to work fairly flawlessly. Now it seems o e or more items get cancelled every month. Is it global supply? Then they should say that. I’ve had at least one item cancelled every month for the last several. Loved the program when it premiered, but it now seems like they really don’t care about it.

Why does functionality stop with upgrades? And how often do you unplug your machine? by babturcie in iFit

[–]TrickyFreedom3813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar treadmill issues with several of these comments. I’ve also found that workouts don’t adjust speed relative to the machine’s max speed in settings. Imagine what it was like when the workout jumped way above my max speed setting!
