Get Your Own bodybugg

Have you ever wondered what those devices are that they wear on their arms on The Biggest Loser? I heard them mention on one of the latest episodes that it shows how many calories are burned in a day, and I just had to find out more.

It's called the "bodybugg" and it does measure calories burned by tracking how a body moves, sweats, and rests. The statistics are downloaded each day and software calculates how much fat is burned. It's accurate to within 90%, which is pretty amazing. And according to a Biggest Loser insider, the most successful losers were the ones who used their bodybuggs the most and kept up with their stats.

Want your own bodybugg? Well, you can have one! It's not cheap, but if you use it faithfully, it's probably worth every penny. It retails for $199-$249 and can be purchased from 24 Hour Fitness (I couldn't find any information on how to purchase directly from bodybugg or if that's even possible):
