Ok so I'm sure this has been discussed before but I am new so be nice. I have an infant so I'm not really able to get back in the gym yet. My workouts take place in my living room and I really want to be able to track my calories and log them correctly. What should I buy to get the most accurate reading for calories burned? FitBit band, polar heart rate monitor, high-end pedometer, etc. What have yall had the most success with? Thanks!!

For your workouts it is best to use a heart rate monitor. I have a fitbit and a heart rate monitor and use the fitbit to measure my daily activity and the heart rate monitor to give my a closer estimate of my calories burned during active exercise.0

I think you will find that there are people on MFP who love their HRM's and those that love their Fitbit's. I happen to be a Fitbit lover, but I think that either one will work well.0
