So is this a good thing?
Okay I do mostly cardio and have noticed lately that my calorie burn seems to be decreasing even though duration isn't decreasing.

HRM / Pedometer
Okay, I'm asking advice. I keep seeing everyone mention how many steps in a day and using HRM and really think one or other or both could be beneficial to me. I know I do have a high heart rate. If you were to suggest one or the other, which would you recommend? Is there a good(affordable) brand out there that does both?…

Fitbit
Is anyone out there using a Fitbit. I'm considering getting one as I'm not all that confident in a normal pedometer. I considered HRM but don't know if that is enough. I just want an accurate way to track heart rate and calorie burn. Any help would be great. Thanks
