    What is a HRM and how do you get it?

    HRM is a Heart Rate Monitor.

    I know... sounds so clinical, doesn't it? That's what I thought too.

    For sure, the HRM sounded like the least interesting thing to me. But the FitBit will monitor your daily activity, literally all day and night (while you sleep). And it syncs with MFP automatically -- very cool. Only problem I have with it is that it isn't so great at calculating your exercise burn on some activities like zumba. There's just a lot of body parts moving at one time and the FitBit just doesn't capture it all. So for that, and some other activities, the HRM is a better tool for calculating the calories burned.

    Good one is the Polar brand - you can order it on Amazon ...wait here I am advising someone on how to get a HRM after really getting into MFP :laugh:
    OP it's a great post & you're so right! Never thought I'd get all into the forums either but the entire site is so helpful and all of you people are so awesome. I :heart: MFP

    The OP took the words right out of my mouth. :wink:
    MFP has been a big help in my struggle to get healthier.
    There is no way I could do this on my own, otherwise I
    would have already done it, right?

    Face-what??? never heard of it. :laugh:

    I said...I'm just going to log my calories on here and not going to worry about increasing my exercise.... WRONG ! I've more than doubled my exercise, thanks to my MFP pals who were doing circles around me every day.

    Said I wasn't going to get any of those silly gadgets that everybody raves about.

    I have to agree with you there!! i can't remember the last time i stuck to any amount of exercise for more than a couple of weeks... i've got to be close to 8 months now without regret! i've also got my boyfriend speaking this language - he's almost as addicted to exercise as me, but he still resists using this site... i'll get him on here soon enough! mwa hahaha :happy: afterall, our anniversary present to each other was his and her's HRMs. :bigsmile:
