You can use a Body Bugg or a heart rate monitor to get a pretty good estimate of what you're burning while you work out. HTH!

a pedometer tracks how many steps you take. A heart rate monitor would track your calories burned while working out

A body bug is what you wear all day, everyday to determine how much you burn. The HRM is pretty much just for work outs. At least...to my understanding.
Good luck!

I believe you are talking about a HRM ....Heart Rate Monitor. I have one and I use it daily. Helps you get a more accurate count of calories burnt.

Get a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. The ones that are just watches aren't as accurate.
