Just got my new HRM in the mail - do you wear it all day or just when you are working out??

    Just when working out. Regular fitness HRM's are notoriously inaccurate at lower/resting heart rates.

    HRM = Heart Rate Monitor

    working out, but don't forget to wear it for an hour while relaxing so you can see what your resting heart rate and resting calories burned are. Then subtract the resting calories burn from your workout calories burned.

    HRM is only for workouts ---- if you got a bodybugg or similar those are intended for all day.

    I didn't know that - thank you!
