This is why Cardio is not enough...

    I love my Body Media Fit device. It gives me the number of calories I burn all day, regardless of what I'm doing - sleeping or running. After a good cardio workout I continute to burn more than twice the calories per minute for a good couple hours than I was before I started the workout. The cardio criticts forget to realize this. If you really want to know your numbers, I recommend this device. I was skeptical too but I'm actually quite amazed at how accurate it is.

    Agreed! I got a BodyMedia last month and love it so much! It motivates me every day to keep walking/moving and never give up. I set my goal to 15,000 steps per day, which is estimated to be 7.5 miles.

    I have a Body Media Fit, and it shows hardly a bump in my calories burned during strength training, even though I'm panting and sweating.


    You do know that panting & sweating is not indicative of a good workout? I can break into a sweat & wake up panting during the night.

    That was the point I was trying to make--even though I look like I'm burning a ton of calories, I'm not--and the BMF shows that.
