Weight management is based on the correlation between calories consumed versus calories burned. As we all know, keeping track of both can be a hassle. That’s why the folks over at Apex Fitness Group created the Bodybugg. It is a gagdet that you strap on your arm which measures how many calories you burn. At the end of the day you connect the gadget to your pc, which then uploads your information to the BodyBugg’s website where you can keep track of the progress that you’ve made and get tips on losing more weight. At least, that’s the jist of it. According to an article in USA Today, the Bodybugg measures how much heat the body is producing and losing, to calculate the overall calorie consumption.

The Bodybugg has gotten mixed reviews. The people over at Starling Fitness critiqued the device for being too expensive without having proven to be accurate.

At the same time, there are rave reviews coming from users of the device. USA Today cites Jennifer White who says she lost 24 pounds on the device. Josh Hillis of Josh’s Garage says that his clients used Bodybugg to manage their calories in addition to their workouts in the gym, which helped them all achieve fantastic results. And the comments section on Starling Fitness is full of people talking about the positive results that they gained from using the Bodybugg.
