ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor, Black

ActiTrainer Personal Activity Monitor, Black Review

I've had this for about a month. I waited until after the holiday season to start using it. I'm on day 5 and already I can see benefits. It monitors everything: steps/mileage, heartrate, calories burned, workouts, food consumed, even your sleep cycles. My favorite feature is it tells me if I'm in a calorie deficit or not. I've had many pedometers and a couple heart rate monitors, but this is far more than that. It takes a little effort (ie entering foods consumed), but if you're committed you can achieved results. I had no problems with the software (just clicked throught the microsoft warnings, like instructed). The warnings are "it has not passed Microsoft test to verify it is Windows XP compatible." I have XP. There is a fee with using the virtual trainer, about 9 bucks a month. My health is worth every penny of the 9 dollars and change. My hubby's first reaction, when I told him how much I spent, was not favorable. Now that he's seen it is so much more than a pedometer, he has to have one too. We are looking forward to using them with our new diet and exercise plan and getting into shape for the boating season :)
