The ACTI-TRAINER (like bodybugg)

[steph_co 9]

I just wanted to jump in here and say that I LOVED my ActiTrainer. Then I ran over it 3 times. It is not designed for that kind of abuse. LOL Seriously - I wore that thing ALL THE TIME. I LOVED getting on to see how many calories I was burning and if I needed to kind of "up" things the following day.

The running over thing was not intentional. It was my own stupid fault. I was wearing pants that were too big for me and the clip slid off the waste band and the thing fell in the frozen dirt at a construction site. Where it then proceeded to be run over by me once, a pick-up truck leaving the site a second time, and then me the third time when I went back to find the poor thing. To its credit, the display was cracked inside, but it STILL gathered info for a good couple of months after that. It finally pooped out. Poor thing. I miss it. :biggrin:

The polar strap that you have to wear around your chest......is this tight and uncomfortable? I had to wear one during a sleep study and I couldn't imagine wearing one all the time......

I really want one of these things, but this is my only issue with it. Please post on how comfortable it is to wear all day. Also, does it just keep registering your calorie burn at all times? I am a teacher, so I'm sure I rack up the cals. during the day.

Thanks!

Alicia - When I did wear it, it was practically unnoticeable to me. I would really only wear it during a workout. But I imagine it's not much worse than a sports bra (if I had to think of a comparison). I didn't feel it was necessary to monitor my heart rate ALL DAY LONG. Due to the fact that I'm healthy and have a great heart rate. Only was curious to know what it was doing during workout.
