Did a mini-test of the bodybugg, as I won't actually be able to rate calories burned per day until my first full day - tomorrow. I specifically tested it using my stationary bike for multiple reasons... 1 being its the only equipment I own that gives me an independent estimate of calories burned, and 2 it's reported that the bodybugg is LEAST accurate with items like stationary bike in which only your legs are moving...and 3, that's the cardio i was going to do today anyway. Later, I also have a 20 minute workout video (level 1 of the Biggest Loser Workout) scheduled, so maybe I'll add an addendum to this review later. Here's how the math stands up...
264.. what the bodybugg says I burnt during the 40 minute period I was working out.
242.. what my bike says. Mind you, there is no age/weight/height input on my bike, or heart rate monitor..its a cheap bike that bases calories on an estimate of speed * time.
205 or 376... what my calorie burn website would tell me on either very light or light effort... although I was going no less than 25 mph the entire time.
I know the bike does not take into account your normal bmr, so I always assume it's read-outs are a little low, although that is what I usually record anyway. I'm shocked both by house close the bodybugg and the bike are to each other, with the bikes technology being from the "stone-age" so to speak and to see how far off the calorie-burn estimator is... since it is based on weight input and was the one I used all this time... I do not know for positive that the bodybugg count includes my bmr, but I would assume it does, since it measures all the calories burned daily. So, that stinks. My website has been amazingly wrong. =).
I get the feeling, at the very least, this is going to help with the weight loss in that now that the numbers are lower (i was using the site on "general" effort, which is 150 calories higher than light effort!!!) I'm going to want to move around more to push them up higher. =)
