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?
