I know of it but its too expensive instead I got a Polar Heart Rate Monitor to wear while I workout its great and it was cheaper. Cause in reality I only need it to know exactly how many calories I am burning

turtle31

do you wear it while at work?

turtle31

I want to know all of the calories burned for the day

mrsyac2

No I just wear it while I exercise. Because I already cut my calories- But to give it an extra kick I wear it to keep track that I am burning a min of 3500 calories a week just in working out.

it takes 3500 calories to gain or lose a pound.

So with me burning a min of 3500 calories (this week I burned 5,000+ calories working out alone) and cutting my calories I should see good #'s every week.

Which one did you buy and where did you get it from?

I got a Polar F4 for 89.99 at Target I love it... There are all different types of Polars it just depends how many bells and whistles you want

turtle31

is it comfortable?

turtle31

do you have to wear the band around your body?

mrsyac2

Yeah its a watch and it comes with a chest strap which is adjustable to all sizes- I forget that its on- The battery life is for exercising only not meant to be worn for 24 hours- Its sole purpose is to monitor your heart rate while working out you want to me in your target zone to really burn calories-

not to mention the Body Bugg is just expensive to buy but there are also monthly fee's as well.
