This is my experience as well. It's led me to question (as others have on this forum) whether an HRM is indeed appropriate for strength/weightlifting exercises. Can anyone point to an article or other resource for more definitive information?

I use a Wahoo HRM everytime I lift. I use the Digifit app to monitor my HR and it calculates calories burned for the session. I've found that 5-10 minutes on the treadmill to warm up helps get my HR into the zone (for me) and taking only 45-60 sec between exercises helps keep me where I need to be to burn calories and also…

If you care to try a FitBit Tracker I've upgraded to the FitBit One from the Ultra. I no longer have any use for the Ultra and am willing to sell it...

This is the most frequently requested feature in the forums. From my experience... the best way to manage this is to press and hold the button on the tracker to start the stopwatch as you start your drive.

The FitBit adjustment is not a sync, it is an adjustment. The FitBit adjustment basically tells MFP that it has underestimated the number of calories you burned, by approximately 720 calories. Remember that the MFP value is an educated guess based on your height, weight and what you select as your activity level…

You should definitely wear your FitBit Ultra while at the gym. When you log the exercise in MFP, be sure to note the time when you started and FitBit and MFP will reconcile the activity data. Use the calorie calculation from the piece of equipment or use a heart rate monitor to track the calories burned. Whatever way you…
