Arc Trainer/Elliptical and Bodymedia Fit

Where do you wear yours? I love the Arc but my BMF gives me a lower reading than what I feel like I am doing. And no I don't have a heart rate monitor. I burn about 9.5-10 calories a minute running and 7ish when I am on my road bike (I wear it on my calf for that). It says I only burn about 6 calories a minute on the Arc and I am usually killing it. I would think it is closer to 7-8. I am going to try it lower on my arm and on my calf tomorrow at the gym and see what it says but I was just curious if you guys had any input. Thanks!

I know this is an older post but I was just wondering if you had tried your BMF on your calf? If you did, how did your burn on the elliptical compare with the arc trainer? Thanks

anyone have imput on this? I have heard that the Cybex arc trainer claims to give a higher calorie burn than the elliptical (according to the machine). Does anyone with a bodymedia, bodybugg or a HRM have data to support this?
