Armband

So this armband thing is pretty cool. (Please see earlier blog if you don’t know what I am talking about) I’ve been plugging it into my computer a couple times during the day just to see what my activity level looks like. It’s pretty interesting to see how your day has so many ups and downs. It gives me a graph of my day and lets me how many calories I am burning per minute. Here is the really cool part: on my first night with the armband on, it told me that as I was sleeping I was burning 1.3 calories per minute. On my second night with the band I had gone to boot camp that evening and that night I burned an average of 1.7 calories per minute. So because I exercised I was able to burn more calories in my sleep. WHOOT! I’ve heard that happens as you exercise and speed up your metabolism but it’s so cool to actually see proof that it is working. I’ll post a picture of what my day looked like.
