I LOVE THIS THING
John bought me a heart rate monitor watch and chest strap for Mother's Day. I was SO excited because I have been asking for one. I really enjoy working out (for the most part) and in an effort to get some motivation to stop eating so much - this little baby is a gem!It's not cheap, but not super pricey (like the body bug - which would be awesome)and it tells me all I need to know - heart rate, calories, duration - you know - basic stuff.
I used it this week for Boot Camp 3 times, Step 1 time and Zumba once and anyone want to guess which one burned the most calories?????? Give up?? OK, I'll tell you......ZUMBA! YAY! I burned between 600-650 calories in the other classes, but Zumba came in with a whopping 746 calories! The kicker is I LOVE IT SO MUCH that it doesn't even feel like I am exercising - well it does, I'm dripping with sweat and breathing super hard - but it is SO much fun that the time flies by and I am EXCITED to go each time.
Now if only I could do something about my sweet tooth. :)

Those are awesome! I have one similar to it that I used to use a lot, until the battery died. Now I'm too lazy to take it in to get a new battery. That's a good idea seeing which workout burns the most. After this baby I'll have to test mine out.
I'm with you on the sweet tooth problem. I should be super skinny after finishing P90X and now I'm trainig for my first 5K and the weight is not coming off anymore.
I love the new toy, BTW. I would love to have one of those also.
Very cool gift! And. . . I totally understand about the sweet tooth. It un-does all of my hard workouts (if that makes any sense). BUGGY!
