Fit Bit or Body Media

Nacho12

I am considering getting one of these to measure calories burned. If you own one I was wondering if you like it and think it is worth the money. Also, if there is anything you don't like please let me know. I have a heart rate monitor which I use all the time for workouts but wanted to have a better idea of how many calories I burn throughout the day. Thanks so much.

I have had my fitbit (first one- the Ultra) for about a year now and I love it! However, I use mine to measure my 'steps" each day and total calories burned for the day, not for individual exercise like the HRM. I log on to the fitbit site each morning and they track everything for you and it's linked to mfp. I have a "goal" each day of getting at least 12,000 to 15,000 steps and I try to beat my goals by getting up and moving more..You can go onto the Community Forum Fitbit Users and read all about it, pros and cons. I definitely would research the Body Media as well if I was going to buy a new one.
