Is it good for weight workout calorie count?

yes... i wore mine even to besd last night... it works great.I even wear it to work, as well as workout

I used it for anaerobic exercise. When it worked for two days it was accurate on the calorie count. The chest strap stopped working on both units that I purchased within two days.
2060992
Yeah. You have to wear the chest strap to get heart rate and caloric burn, but that doesn't bother me.

I would say yes because the monitor is tracking your heart rate. While weightlifting your heart rate will increase. The watch is just for display only, you have to use the chest strap provided. I would contact Polar if you would like to know for sure if this will work for you. 1-800-227-1314 or customer.service.usa@polar.com

Hi, Disclaimer: I am not a professional in working out. I did some weight training and it calculated my calories burned. So, I guess it is good as well. Hope this helps!

I have not used it for weight workout! Just cardio! With machines and running outside!
2060996
Yes it is!!! That's mainly what I use it for....Its great and totally recommend

it monitors your heart rate, so it will count calories according to that with ur height weight if your male or female, and age. So yea it will work for weight lifting too.

Yes its fairly good...it has a little flux in the calibration but not much. It has really been a gem in helping me keeping track of my weight loss through my journey. I think you will be satisfied with it if you decide to purchase it.

Sort of. I turn on the treadmill mode to track my heart rate, but I question how accurate the calorie count is. Also, the treadmill mode will think you are on the treadmill, so you would have to discard/ignore those metrics. When I log into the third party software fitness tracker "map my fitness" and put in the time spent weightlifting, it will automatically approximate my calories. A couple of side notes. Tomtom says that sometime in July they are adding a "generic" activity to monitor activities other than run, bike and swim--but they have not done so to date. However, for the time being, when I do a gym workout in treadmill mode, I then select training option "laps" and then select "manual". This way, after every set, I tap my watch to reset the lap timer to help me monitor the rest time between each set. So I track my heart rate, total time, and time between sets.

Yes. You enter your age, weight, gender, and height and the watch adjusts calories accordingly. However, you'll need to adjust the weight every couple months to account for weight gained or lost through your workouts to ensure the accuracy of the calorie counter. Well worth the investment.

Not really, it's a mass gainer so you're looking at 1200-1600 calorie shakes. If you take it with milk it's not far from muscle milk, but if you take it with water it taste kind of like that yahoo chocolate drink. I would still order it if you're looking to gain mass. Nothing beats that price for that taste.

I did not use it for weight loss, but I suppose if it gives you more energy, it may make it easier to work out. I felt very good while I was taking it.

This solely won't help you lose weight. I use it with a workout while trying to burn fat, but retain muscle. If you want to lose weight, I recommend using the myfitnesspal app (http://www.myfitnesspal.com). It does take work because you do need to track all of your calories of everything you eat per day. It gives you a caloric goal to lose 1-2 pounds per week. I've lost 35 pounds with the app. Do research about why protein is important in a diet and use this to achieve your daily protein requirements.

I would not be able to say anything about the "burning calories". I know that if one uses the machine twice a day for ten minutes, each time, one will see and enjoy the difference in our bodies and our mood. Have a wonderful day!

Absolutely. However, the calorie calculation is definitely geared for men. I find it is too high for me (male, 180 pounds, 20% body fat), so I adjust the calories downward. Anyone can do the exercises; you just adjust the weight up or down accordingly.

I don't think so. Whenever I use the pulse monitor to check my heart rate it gives me a ridiculous number like 93 in the middle of a cardio workout. When I use the exercise function it gives you a calorie burn number that sounds reasonable but there is no way to know if it is accurate because it is based on settings in the watch that are supposed to be described in a manual that I never received. I think it was a waste of money

Yes. There is a weight setting and it does count your calories. What I like most is that you won't be overwhelm with features.

It calculates calories based primarily on weight and distance (with an age adjustment, I believe). It uses relatively simple formulas just like a treadmill. That's fine for running and walking. It's not going to do much for you in most other workouts.

If you stay active, yes. This product will give you more energy but the weight loss wont happen fast.

When i wore this device with the heart rate monitor and did crossfit, it said i did 68 calories for a 17 minute session, so i dont believe it does monitor calories very well unless your covering a distance. crossfit is a high intensity constantly varied workout

Yes this helps you lose weight if you follow the directions. 1 scoop is 110 calories. If you measure properly, you will be good. Its used as a meal replacement in conjunction with healthy eating. I just use it with water and a dash of cinnamon to help regulate blood sugar ( i am not a diabetic, just want to lose weight). I use this for my lunch and eat small healthy snacks throughout the day ( apples, pears,pistachios ). Also you need to eat healthy and in moderation with exercise. It seems like a lot but hard work is how you will be successful. Nothing in life comes easy and there is no one drug cure.

You get total calorie count at the end of the workout. If you use splits in your timing, you will get calorie burn for each split. I usually use a split for each different exercise.

No, it works better and faster if you work out. I know people who have just used it for sweating out weight and it has worked but at a very slow pace. Mostly water weight.
