Spend less time at the gym and more time outside.

Measuring your caloric burn with the help of the BioTrainer doesn't need to take place just in the gym. Working out can mean working out outdoors.


Tune up the bicycle and take a ride to a place you've passed by in the car but might not have been able to access unless on foot or bike. Go hiking at a local park and plan a (healthy) picnic at the end as your reward. With more daylight at the end of the workday make a date to meet friends at the local tennis or basketball courts.

And for those who are true "gym rats" and don't feel they are getting a real workout unless they're at the health club, try your warm up exercises and stretches in the open air before going inside for a change of pace.

And don't forget the sunscreen and a hat!

the biotrainer is one of the worse products on the market for people who want to lose weight. It claims you can wear it on your waist. Yeah, until it falls off.

It is NOT accurate. it does not measure your calories burned during all your workouts. If you bike or do yoga, it doesn't work. If you lift weights it does not work.

And in order to get a real read - you have to subscribe to their monitoring program for $100 a year.

It is a cheaply made product with little customer service; once you are on their mailing list they bombard you with crap emails...spam.

Anyone wishing to monitor their calories should just figure out how long they worked out and do the math. Much more accurate than this piece of junk. DO NOT buy the bio trainer. it is not worth it.
