Body Bugg - anyone tried it?

 I have the Garmin too. It's sitting in the box still. I think I wore it around the block when I first got it. I wasn't aware you could upload the data. I only bought it for tracking distance. I've never used the heart rate monitor strap on it. 

There are about 4 different garmin heart rate monitors that will sync with the body media website. Check their website to see if the one you have is one. You have to put heart rate monitor in the search otherwise it is difficult to find. Then you have to download something from the garmin website to sync the heart rate monitor data with the rest of the activity page. I really want to get one because I love that techie stuff and more importantly it will help me work harder.

I couldn't justify the expense of the Bodybugg even though I really wanted one.  I got a good deal on a Garmin Forerunner 305 that was recommended to me on the Exercise and Fitness Forum here on OH.

It came with a heart rate monitor and I wear it for all exercise activity.  Personally I don't find the calorie burn accurate so I plug my numbers into a spreadsheet that factors in more parameters to give me an accurate calorie burn.

I like that it's a GPS so if I get lost on a trail I can set it to "take me home"  :0)

 

I have a bodymedia it is the same as a bodybugg I bought mine through Jenny Craig.  I just called them and asked them to order one for me.  It was cheaper to get it through them then to order on line.....I am not apart of Jenny Craig.
