Yea, you burn calories just by breathing… called BMR. I’m a bigger gal and burn 1.4 every minute. Typically, people take the amount burned for a workout and subtract their BMR to see what they actually burned for the workout. Google BMR.. there are calculators that help you figure out what you should burn each day just by being alive. If you wanted, you could then divide by 24 and then again by 60 to get it by the minute.

I have a Polar FTsomething or another and I feel like the accuracy is pretty good! The gym equipment doesn’t take your height/weight/age into account, so I don’t think it’s as accurate as a HR monitor with your info and on your body. I once wore mine all day just to see, and I don’t remember the exact number of calories for the day, but it was somewhere over 3000.

Thoughts on the accuracy? My PolarFT4 tells me that I am burning more calories then the read-outs on the gym equipment. Which is right? I will wear mine all day long and the counter shows that I am burning between 1800-2000 cal on a non-work out day. Today was a work out day and it showed that I burned 700 cal during my workout (at 5 am)… it’s 2:50 pm right now and I have been wearing it all day and it says that I’m already at 1990 calories… so should easily be at 2500 by bedtime. Do these numbers sound right?

Can you wear it all day to track calories burned? throughout the day? can it show you when you were most active vs. down times, etc. I am interested in learning more.

I bought the FT4 today and could hardly wait to get on my bike and try it out. So far it works very well, I love the calories burned feature, an extra motivation tool for me. And as you say, it's so easy to configure and use.
