Does anyone have one of these bracelets? I got one for Christmas, started it today and I did a zumba workout @ home. The tv and logging it in tells me I burned 239 calories, striiv tells me I only burned 76 :\ . That's a huge difference! Any opinions on this?

    Hey! This is because the Striiv is only calculating your steps - not any other physical activity. The striiv band is really just a pedometer with other features so it's not looking at your heart rate or working out that you're doing other exercise.

    I'd suggest logging your workouts separately and then adding additional calories burnt for your steps if you say go for a walk or spend hours walking around a mall etc.

    With Zumba you should burn almost 700 to 800 calories! That's is what my Zumba instructor said, if you have iPhone download digifit, is easy and simply tells you how much calories you burn and automatically transfer to your fitness pal exersise
