I am mulling the possibility of getting some sort of HRM or the lik. Does anyone have any recommendations? I woudl like to see the cals burned on an average day, so the ability to wear it 24/7 would be great. I have heard a lot about the FitBit, both good and bad.

Thoughts?

    If you want an all day tracker a HRM isn't the item to buy, that is more designed for cardio workouts where your heart rate is accelerated. I have a fitbit and like it, others have the Bodymedia Fit, there are reviews on both.. these would be the things to give you an all day idea, both have pluses and minuses.

    If you want something that monitors 24/7, a HRM is not the way to go. They only accurately measure elevated (cardio) heart rates.

    If you want 24/7 monitoring for calories burned, look into a BodyMedia FIT
