can you wear you polar heart rate monitor all day to get an accurate reading of how many calories you burn in a day doing exercise as well as stuff around the house....yard work, mowing, vaccuuming etc?

    Polar hrm's are really only accurate for periods of exercise. If you want to know what you burn during the day, a bodybugg or fitbit would be better for that.

    haha i actually wore one on a shopping trip to the mall with my mom. It got a little annoying after a while and honestly if you are realllllly scrounging to get more exercise calories in to eat, you should probably just hit the gym :)
