What is a good HRM.

Yay that is why I thought it would be better to get a HRM. I'm not really trusting the calories burned with MFP. I have to be as accurate as possible. I don't want to be over on my calories. I was also looking at the Fitbit. A lot of great reviews for that one as well as the polar.

[Alyjourneys 117]

So I bought a Fitbit Zip and needless to say its going back to the store. I'm going with the polar. FB was saying I burned over a 1000 calories without me doing anything. Ugh.

I think we do during the course of any normal day, don't we? I'm not sure how fitbit works. I don't count my total burner though, only actual exercise or physical labor. This weekend I want to clean out the van and I totally plan on slapping on my polar.

I burned 1500 calories the weekend before surgery mowing, trimming, and edging my lawn!

Wow! Imagine how hard our poor bodies were working to keep us moving then. "/

I'm a proud owner of a polar ft4. Went during lunch and changed it. So excited. Thank you all.

Ps it was reflecting those calories burned as soon as I put the battery in without me doing anything. Lol

Um. Sweat lots? Hehe

You might not need the band as tight as I thought I did at first. It's loosened and it still works great.

Not much to say, just get your workout on!!!

How come my polar doesn't send the info to MFP. I linked them. Also do you feel the calories burned are pretty accurate?

[amytug 996]

I feel it's very accurate. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't. . When I was logging a certain work out into MyFitnessPal it said 107. When I got my heart rate monitor I did the same work out and it said 105. I do believe it works perfectly. I mostly wanted it for things like walks, C25K, and strength training. Also manual labor. I love it.

I didn't know any of them synched to mfp. I wrote above that I just add my calories burned, activity type and minutes manually on the mfp phone app.

I'm actually wearing mine all day long just to see how much I burn with daily activities. Crazy.
