Why is the bodybugg more accurate than a pedometer?
The bodybugg armband is more accurate than a pedometer for calculating calories burned because it is “watching” your body from four different perspectives. A pedometer only measures steps. In addition to measuring motion and steps, the armband is able to see how much you are sweating, your skin temperature and the rate at which heat is being dissipated from your body. These additional physiological parameters give the bodybugg system a more complete picture of what your body is doing and its level of exertion, all of which means a much more accurate estimation of your calories burned.
