How to Use my BodyBugg

The BodyBugg by Apex or 24 Hour Fitness has become immensely popular due to the TV show “The Biggest Loser” where all contestants are “armed” with a BodyBugg device to monitor their weight loss. 

The device is meant to be worn as much as possible and usually comes with an online weight loss program that includes a consultation with a personal trainer over the phone.  Here’s how to use your BodyBugg to get effective weight loss!

Charge your BodyBugg using your computer.  The BodyBugg comes with a USB cord that can be plugged into any computer’s USB port to charge your BodyBugg.  The first charge will take about 3 hours and you’ll know when it’s complete because the light on your bugg will flash green.  To plug the cord into your bugg, remove the bugg from the armband by gently pushing downwards on the non-metal side.  It will pop out to reveal an outlet.

Sign up online for the BodyBugg weight loss program.  Most BodyBuggs are coming with a free trial for either 6 to 12 months for their online weight loss program.  The program allows you to plug in your BodyBugg and upload the information it has collected throughout the day and convert that into how many calories you’ve burned.  It also allows you to enter the food you’ve eaten and your weight loss goals.  This can be a fantastic tool to keep you on track to lose weight.

Wear your BodyBugg daily, as much as possible.  The bugg is small and fits un-noticed under most shirts.  Make sure to wear it while working out and sleeping.  Take it off to shower or swim. 

The more you wear your BodyBugg, the more accurate your daily calorie burn will be.  Using the bugg helps you monitor your weight whether you’re looking to lose weight, gain weight, build muscle or maintain your current weight.
