BodyMedia Fit

 

I recently purchased the BodyMedia Fit.  With personal training and the machines .. I really wanted to know exactly how many calories I was burning when I go to the gym everyday.  

The gym promotes this one device called the BodyMedia Fit .. 24 hours uses the same device as well .. The BodyMedia Fit is worn on the arm .. and has sensors that measure calories burn from detection of sweat and temperature of the skin .. this estimates how many calories are burned. The device is to be worn 23 hours of the day. 

Along with this device .. there is a website / iPhone app where I log in my food and track my calories.  It also measures the amount of physical activity and average amount of sleep every night.  I got the bluetooth version because I wanted to have up to date information readily available on my iPhone.  Information on the device needs to be connected to the computer to upload all the data from up to 14 days.  

I'm still getting use to having something strapped onto my arm 23 hours of the day .. but it will get better  .. I'm including a intro video to the device at the bottom.  

Visit their website www.BodyMedia.com or add them on twitter @BodyMedia .. They are good at responding on Twitter because I had questions before purchasing the item and they answered right away.
