Got up early and ran an easy 6.0 miles, keeping heart range in the 70-80% of maximum range.  I've been using a BodyBugg for 2 weeks to help me lose weight and have dropped 7 pounds so far.  I'm sure it will slow down soon.  It is interesting to see the calorie burns from different exercises.

Les - yes, they are sold by 24 Hour Fitness. I bought mine on sale and the armband and watch and a six month subscription was about $215.

Off to the gym for another workout before Eclipse at 8:35 tonight.

what is a BodyBugg?

From Maurine/Miles on Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 10:51:06 from 63.255.172.2

It is a monitor you strap on to your left arm that measures your calories burned and steps done during the day. You pair it with an online system for entering your food and can more accurately measure the calorie differential. Go to www.bodybugg.com and you can read more on it.
