Accelerometer keeps track of burned calories

With people these days worrying about how many calories they eat and how many they burn off, many of them need a way to count burned calories. That�s where the Accelerometer comes in. this is a gadget that will track the number of calories you burn after you simply punch in some numbers, namely your weight. It�s supposed to measure all of your movements, including their frequency, duration, and intensity, so it can figure out how many calories you burn in a day. It also can store up to 9 days of information, so you can check and see how you�ve improved. Now here�s where the rub comes in: this has a clip attached to it so you can hook it to your belt. What�s the problem with that, you might ask. Well, my arms and legs do a lot more moving during the day than my waist, so calculating the number of burned calories looks a little flawed. The other problem is that the LCD that displays your burned calories faces outward on your belt, and if you�re self-conscious, that might be a problem for you. For only $50, if you have that same New Year�s Resolution as the rest of the world (you know what it is) then maybe this wouldn�t be such a bad investment after all. — Nick Rice
