Undesirable Cardio Load Notification

[fukoltu2]

Nothing is more discouraging to me than opening up Fitbit and it tells me I am at risk of under training. **ahem**, not only am I fat, but I spent an hour at the gym yesterday lifting weights and doing cardio. I’ve been working out 5 days a week. My arms are so sore that pulling up my own underwear was painful.

Let us turn this **ahem** off. Deleting from my dash did nothing.

Hi @LZeeW & welcome @fukoltu2 to the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

I can imagine how you may feel about the fact these messages don't reflect the reality of your effort. I understand they may be demotivating in certain contexts.

Let me help you with the cardio load messages you receive in the Fitbit app. Thanks for the suggestion @LZeeW. 

If your arms are sore you are doing a great job and you are on the right path. On the other hand, some users have been able to get rid of these messages by deleting all their Cardio load data. See What are cardio load and target load? > Troubleshooting cardio load and target load > How do I delete cardio load data?

Hello!I totally get your frustration — sometimes gadgets don’t understand how hard we’re actually working! The most important thing is that you’re keeping active and taking care of your health, which is what really matters.Speaking of well-being, I recently read an article about employee perks: https://betterme.world/articles/employee-perks/ It’s interesting how companies are offering benefits that support both physical and mental health, showing that taking care of ourselves is just as important at work as during workouts.Focusing on real health, not just the numbers on a device, is what counts most!

Totally agree. It turns me off to see the non-deletable, insistent messages on how I should stop ('you are at risk of over training) or start. I will be the judge of that, thank you very much Google!
