Got my bike out of the shop 10 days ago and finally took it for a short spin. It’s a 1988 Nishiki Rally 12-speed racer. The ten minute spin was long enough yo see how it rides after the tune up, get the HR up for a bit, but to really test out mirroring the […]

We humans have been presented with methodologies and processes aimed at motivating us to to things for a reward, for decades.

Greetings all, I hope this post finds you well. Since July 2017, I’ve been tracking my fitness workouts with the Apple Watch.

Greetings readers, In my last (longgg) post, I discussed why I have, in 2017, begun using the NikeFuel Band. In all the research I’ve done, I wanted to determine (via some crude experiments), what many have tried before – How many calories burned make up 1 NikeFuel point? As a recap, the Nike website says […]
