in Fitness and Exercise
I have just started wearing a bodymedia fit device and boy is it cool. I did weight training and an hour of cardio yesterday and JUST an hour of cardio today. The calorie difference is amazing. I haven't completed my day yet but it looks like on the day I did weights I burnt 300 plus more calories in the afternoon (I exercised in the morning both days) then I did when I just did cardio. Tomorrow I have some appointments so I think I will wear it all day and just see what happens with just a regular day of being mom with no exercise.

I logically knew this, but it is great to really see it.

have a great evening all,
susan

    I have a bodybugg and LOVE it! You should do interval cardio and watch that residual burn as well. It's pretty cool to see how it works - I burn so many more calories than I thought I did!

    I love the bodymedia, I need to reactivate my account. I loved how it tracked my sleep, so I could see on average how much sleep I was getting. It's a good device to have!

    Good Job, and yeah Afterburn is real, you will burn more calories in the 48hrs after a good Cardio workout than you do actually doing the stuff, you just need to find stuff that will max the effect for your body :-D

    Again Good Job :)

    I love the idea of either a bodybugg or bodymedia but price is prohibitive for me :noway:

    Thanks for responding everyone! They are about $250. I asked for one for my birthday, felt too guilty spending it on myself! I was also amazed at how many calories I am burning, you would think this last 10 pounds would come off easier : )

    I just thought I would share so maybe you all would think twice about skipping your weight training : )

    have a great evening!
    Susan
