BioTrainer Review

 

The BioTrainer is an exercise and activity monitor that measures your daily activity and converts it into calories burned, taking the concept of pedometer to a new level. It measures the frequency, duration and intensity of your movements based on your weight. The only movements it doesn't measure are swimming and resistance training.

The BioTrainer is worn around your waist, clipped to a belt or waistband of pants, shorts, skirt, etc... The device holds up to 9 days of activity and there's also an online service you can join to track the data along with a nutritional program. The device costs $49.95 and the online service is $9.95 after an initial month for free.

There's not much negative to be said about this product, other than it doesn't address a more comprehensive plan for fundamental lifestyle change. As a tracking device to be used in conjunction with another program it would seem to be a very helpful tool.
