New toy.... LOVE IT!

So I got me a new toy. A mio watch. I love it. It tells me how many calories I have burned after I exercise. You set it before you go with your heart rate and then randomly several times during your exercise and it calculates how many calories you urned. The more often you check your heart rate the more accurate it is.
Today when I walked I burned 584 calories. 6kms in an hour. I like it. It was seen on the Dr.Phil show. It was on sale at Canadian tire so that was also a bonus. I have been watching for a while now for something like this. keeps you motivated. Helps you burn.
Some have a polar watch... Do you have one? How do you calculate your caloric burn?

  1. You new toy is so pretty. I got a fitbit a few months ago and love it. You can check it out at www.fitbit.com . It doesn't keep track of my heart rate but it does calculate steps, miles, calories, sleep, etc. It is interesting to see how different the calorie burn is on the fitbit compared to the machines at the gym. It's pretty cool and didn't break the bank. Have fun playing with your pretty pink toy.
