What's that on your arm?

That's a question that I get pretty often, specially now in the summer that I'm wearing short sleeves. It's a Bodybugg, but what exactly a Bodybugg is? Well it's a calorie management system and has to components, the first one is the one everyone sees, which is the calorie monitor. It's an armband you wear it in your upper left tricep and will record and hold data based on 4 censors that can very accuretly estimate your calorie output or burn thru out the day. The second part is a web based program in which u upload your arm bands data and also  track  your intake, (what you eat). There is also the option to buy a display that will tell u in real time how many calories are you burning  or get the latest Bodybugg system that connects to your smartphone also letting your know the calories you are burning in real time. The bodybugg also tracks steps taken and activity level.

So what the bodybugg is not? It's not a heart rate monitor, so you won't be able to know your heart rate while excersicing, but it will tell u how many calories u are burning even if u are at rest, which the heart rate doesn't do, unless u are willing to wear a chest strap.. personally I don't need a second bra. It won't  actually DO anything for you, you have to do the work, you have to burn the calories, you have to accuretly track your intake and you have to upload the data. So what does it actually DO? Well gives u INFORMATION! and as we all know information is POWER! Extrangely enough the counting the calories and tracking your calorie burn makes your free!, Yes! because by knowing exactly how many calories you are burning, you know how many u can eat and still be on track with your goals.

I absolutley love my bodybugg, and unlike the beachbody products I don't make a dime if you go to their website and buy it off this review,  But it's one of the best invesments I have made on my health. They are pricey, but as I said it's and investment, you can very well pay the same amount of money for clothes and unlike the bodybugg u won't wear them everyday. I think it's a product that better serves people that need to lose a good amount of weight, for people that need to mantain I think the information would get pretty old in 2 weeks, and I have absolutley no experience on TRYING to gain weight lol!

To sum up, The Bodybugg is a wonderful tool, if you can afford it to, to reach your goals, but keep in mind, it's only  a tool, you have to do the job!
