Hello Everyone!

Because of my unknown work schedule, it's hard for me to go to the gym. So I just work out at home. I have the zumba fitness core game for the wii and it's great because it gives me an estimate of how many calories I burned after each session. But any ideas/suggestions on how to get estimated calories burned from other things like workout DVDs? Like a hrm watch or a certain app? Any suggestions would be much appreciated! thank you! :)

    I think Polar is the best. I recently bought an FT4 and had an F4 for years before that. Best investment ever! You might even find that the calorie count from your game is way off.

    I second the Polar FT4. I have one. It has settings for your Height/Weight/Age and tracks Calorie Burn far more accurately than most equipment.

    Ditto! I finally got one after a few years of working out and I am kicking myself for not getting it sooner! I have a Polar one and love it.
