Best Fitness App/Device & How to Track Weight Training

winddancinash

Having trouble legitimately tracking the calories I burn while weight lifting/resistance training at the gym.
I've really been looking at the FitBit Charge HR but haven't committed to it yet.
Any suggestions?

fitbit has a large community.
i like and have the vivosmart with a hrm strap.

i suppose it depends on what you specifically want out of the tracker

Nothing is good at estimating calories burned during weight lifting except your personal experience. If you have a relative consistent weekly routine, I would just set a calorie goal and track your weight, adjust calorie goal accordingly.

I really like my Vivosmart too. I've never had a fitbit so I don't know about the social aspect of it. The Garmin social site doesn't seem to be as popular. I never track my lifting or resistance training on MFP and I don't even turn on my Vivosmart until I am doing cardio.
