Do Fitness Trackers Actually Work? What Science Says...

[@MsGorteck]

This was EXTREMELY (!!!) helpful. I wish I could find out information that is relivent to ME and my needs. I need to know what is going to tell me the information that I want/need to know and I am 60. I don't need motivation, my work keeps me active and getting a paycheck is all the motivation I need. I want to share my health information with my doctor. Nobody talks about this, and I feel.this is because the people doing these KZbin videos are focusing on - young, hot and sexy, not the overwhelming majority of people who need help choosing what works best for them. Hopefully, since you said you plan on adding fitness tracking to your repertoire, you can do a video talking about the different choices that we have to choose from.

Thank you for the video. It's not about motivating yourself, it is about the data. Any data about you will become VERY useful in the future

The best for heart rate, is a arm band sensor or a chest strap.

Thanks DR.G

Dr. G, I’m a 55 year old unhealthy diabetic man with neuropathy and more. I would like to buy a device that can tell me (fairly accurately) my heart rate, oxygen, etc. I would like to start getting in shape but without knowing what my body is doing I’m afraid. Is there anything that could help someone who isn’t interested in tracking their running or miles but just monitoring their health while they do light to moderate exercise?

I just use a spreadsheet

thanks doc this is exactly what I expected, the watch having no significant effect on becoming more active, but if I only use it for the first 6 months and it helps me upload more stats to my strava feed about recent cycling then it may be worth it.
