Fitness Tracker for Cardio/Gym?

dvmap790 · April 2016

I've been trying to choose a fitness tracker that would help me count steps, but more importantly calories burned doing programs like P90, P90X, etc. I've read concerns about each of the different ones I like, so I'd love to hear if anyone has experience with these and if they will calculate calories for my exercise programs! Polar A360, Misfit Shine, Withings Steel, and Strive Fusion Bio. Thank you so much!!

I was looking for the same thing. I wanted the best of both worlds. An activity tracker for every day steps as well as an accurate heart rate monitor for spinning and indoor treadmill, I also needed a gps for cycling that I love to do. I decided to go with a 2 part combo. I got http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-vivoactive-Smart-Watch-X-large/dp/B01BKUB66U?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 for an activity tracker with built in gps for everyday and cycling. However the optical heart rate monitor on the bands are notoriously inaccurate for vigorous activity, especially anything indoors that you can track with gps. So I also decided to get http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Rhythm-Exclusive-Clever-Training/dp/B018RICYV4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 which will sync with the garmin for a much more accurate heart rate to calculate indoor activities. That is the setup I plan to use, since the garmin is still on preorder I can tell you if its working for me yet.

I use a Fitbit for daily activities...mostly steps. But I have a Polar heart rate monitor for the gym. It's more accurate when it comes to calories burned.
