Fitbit?

Hi all,

I'm really trying to make a conscious effort to do more exercise. I try and get myself to two hour-long classes each week: Legs, Bums & Tums and Body Balance. As well as those I do some other workouts like Asana yoga or Blogilates cardio workouts. I also walk to and from work every day which is around 30 minutes of walking all together.

I'd like to be able to see some stats like heart rate, how many calories I burned etc., so was just wondering if anyone has a Fitbit or any other exercise watch/tracker they could recommend?

Thanks all!

If you look at the Activity/Cal Tracker Topic, you'll see lots of posts on this subject, princessizzybee and for even more, type Fitbit into the search box :)

As Claz will no doubt tell you, the Fitbit isn't great for recording steps during classes but if you get the right one, you can see your heart rate etc. I have a charge and I think when I do the higher intensity exercise, it starts to lose my heart rate. The reason I know that is because I used to have a polar watch and they showed very different readings and the Fitbit seems to underestimate. Although the Fitbit is pretty good if you are during lower intensity work, like walking. I love my Fitbit overall though, but I miss my polar a bit!
