What is the the Bodybugg Monitor/Bodybugg Calorie Counter Monitor


The bodybugg is a biometric calorie management system available through 24 Hour Fitness, which uses four sensors to convert measurements of galvanic skin response, physical activity, and body temperature into a real-time measurement of calories burned throughout the day. Users wear the compact armband, which easily fits under clothing, over the triceps on their upper left arm - allowing you to take it everywhere you go.

That's the official description of the new device. Additionally, the bodybugg website has this to add: "No matter what activity a user is doing – washing dishes, playing with the kids or working out – the bodybugg calculates the amount of energy expended in each motion. Users then download their captured bodybugg data to a Web interface that tracks caloric measurements and helps them monitor their food intake and activity levels as they seek to achieve their fitness goals."

The small BodyBugg armband is worn on your upper arm throughout the day, calculating how many calories its user is burning by recording their activity level. It calculates the loss by measuring specific information such as body temperature and information entered upfront such as height, weight and age. But more than that, the Bodybugg calorie monitor has the following great feature: Users upload information gathered by the device onto a computer each night then add in what they ate for the day to get a total. The BodyBugg system also advises users how many calories they should be consuming to reach their goals.

Reviews of the device have been quite favorable. The only downside, its hefty monthly access fee. But then again, if the Bodybugg monitor/Bodybugg calorie counter will help one achive his goal, why not?
