I only have a pull up bar, so I do some calisthenics-based exercises, e.g. varieties of pull ups and leg raises. You can try variety of push ups, planks, crunches, and squats. No-equipment strength training is easily available online

I'm planning get GPS watch under 1k, I'm currently looking at:
Garmin FR15 w/ HRM,
Garmin FR220
Polar M400

Anybody here use Polar watches?

I do road running more, hiking/trial run once a week.
Any opinion?

Ex-polar user.
Polar is a good watch, too bad no longer have service centre in Msia or KL.

Not sure now got new authorised seller or service centre setup or not.

Now I'm an active Garmin VivoActive HR+ user... RM1099 during CIMB fair promo... RRP 1299, normal promo RM1199.

Maybe u can survey new garmin fr35 with built in wrist heart rate. If im not wrong price rm9++

Hi guys, I am new here.

I previously ran two 10km marathon in 2015 and 2016. Planning to run KL half marathon next year. Any suggestion on how and where should I train in PJ area?

Thanks!

10km run is not a marathon.

PJ can try Taman Lembah Kiara in TTDI. For other location or road route, need to wait all the sifu sifu here to reply.

Earlier last month I got injured while running and I sprained my ankle. Doctor diagnosed torn ankle ligament and need at least 3months to heal.

My ankle is doing ok now but a small part of it still have some swelling and doctor said probably some effusion or granules and to be expected when the ligament is healing.

Now to keep fit, I do around 30 min strength training. I try to do everyday but strength training for me is quite boring .

Anyone had similar torn ligament/sprained ankle experience? Any tips to heal faster? haha.

You can try running on the open road. Keep to the five foot way as cars usually will speed along the more busy roads.

When I am in PJ, I usually run a loop starting from Amcorp Mall, all the way down to Filem Negara/Bukit Bintang School to PJ Hilton and then finally up to Amcorp Mall again. Not sure how many km is that but it gives me a pretty good workout due to the uphill segments.

what, this is knot for running shoes?

i did this for my badminton shoes and not to my running shoes

I don't see why the same knot can't be used for other sports apart from running. Again, the point is to lock the shoe onto your heel.

i know, no problem to use for other sport but i didn't do it for my running shoes, kinda irony there.

Don't buy new....buy used. The prices of activity tracker by garmin, polar, fitbit here is crazy. Just went to see FR35 and FR735XT yesterday. FR35 they selling >1K....its just basic model. I bought a higher end used FR620 with chest strap on eBay at RM600 only.

Polar is good but yes....they closed the service centre at Jaya One. Now need to send to S'pore for servicing. The good thing about Garmin is their apps is better.

Aiyah.... to have VivoActive HR(VAHR) or FR235?

Vahr from running, swim, hike, swim, golf funtion
FR235 running and bike but more in depth..

Which one to choose.......... i want to record my run & training for VFM

Polar is back and is available at our website on www.bigbigplace.com, meanwhile, for those that bought from AC and have difficulties repairing, why not contact us and we'll try to help sort out (for free of cause).

Vivoactive touches surface of everything but not in depth where as FR235 are focused on running. Some customer bought it for their bike training too.

side note, we're offering 10% off your first purchase at bigbigplace.com every...thing....

Next u want to check is the battery life for both

I'm using VivoActive HR+ (the correct name )

Love the battery life... Used it for running , cycling, & CrossFit

Also have d step counts... Initially wear to sleep to check on the sleep pattern... But now not bother... Haha...

And there is another option to choose. The cheaper new Garmin fr35

Will the lack of GLONASS affect the accuracy of the GPS? Also is Garmin Connect IQ that good to not miss it?
