Calorie Estimation Device ???
Hi, I'm Amy, and I'm 54. I've never owned any device for estimating my calories. I want one for estimating calories when I walk, and when I go to the gym and get on the elliptical machine and use the weight machines. Cost and simplicity are also a factor, if possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
