Hello:flowerforyou: anyone else around? How do you guys like it?

I have been using the bodybugg for awhile now and i really wonder how accurate it is. When i do an hour of spinning class it says i burn about 360 calories whereas my HRM says over 600

cardio kickboxing class says about 320 HRM almost 600


Also if i have a day where i don't exercise i still hit my target just being up and on my feet all day cleaning, shopping etc...

    I find HRM's over estimate by a lot. had one with a chest strap.. Mine would say i burned 600-700 When I got my Bodymedia fit, It said i burned about 300. Thats a lot of an over estimate! :o I LOVE MINE!

    I would believe the Bodybugg over the HRM. More information goes into that. Although we all wanna believe we are burning 1000 cals doing 10 minutes of walking thats not reality. :) Information is key!
