It's a fun, community based way to get in better shape. It includes integrated accelerometer technology to bring you a unique fitness experience. KAM lets you monitor your daily activity and calorie burn throughout the day, plus input nutritional information.

At the end of the day, or less frequently, if desired, you can download your activity via USB interface to the MYKAMunity website (www.mykamunity.com), where you can track your statistics and compete with other KAM users.

Wikipedia: "An accelerometer is a device for measuring acceleration, detecting and measuring vibrations, or for measuring acceleration due to gravity (inclination). An accelerometer inherently measures its own motion (locomotion), in contrast to a device based on remote sensing."

Accelerometers are used in a wide variety of applications, including cars, devices to measure seismic activity, inclination, or machine vibration, as well as personal electronic devices. The iPhone, for example, incorporates accelerometer technology, as does the Nintendo Wii remote.

The inclusion of an accelerometer in a personal fitness device opens a whole new world for people trying to get or stay in shape or lose weight. Tracking your physical activity helps you motiviate you to be more active and lose weight faster.

Unlike a pedometer, which measures distance based on the number of steps taken, an accelerometer can detect motion much more accurately. It can easily determine if you are walking or running, for example, as well as measure effort on a bike, elliptical machine, or other devices.

The KAM connects you to a fast growing community of fitness enthusiasts who are as dedicated to a healthy lifestyle as you are. In addition to tracking your activity you can connect online with other KAM users and compare your stats. For extra motivation, get your friends involved to increase the competition.

Spice up your active lifestyle with online KAM games that let you compete against other KAM users. See who can rack up the most points in King of the Hill or build a team to compete in a game of virtual Tug of War. Each day as you upload your KAM to the web you'll see how you measure up against the competition.

Note: To make full use of the website for tracking and competition, you need to join the MYKAMunity website for a monthly recurring fee of $7. You will receive your first year of membership free with purchase. It is well worth it!

1. KAM Point Mode: This is the basic measure of activity. The unit displays which of three time zones you are currently in: Life, Health, or Sport, depending on your current level of intensity.

2. Zone Mode: Used for checking your stats, this mode will show you how many minutes you have spent so far in each of the three zones mentioned above.

3. Calorie Burn Mode: Displays the number of calories you have burned that day. A simple switch toggles between the daily calorie burn and your rolling average for the last 7 days.

4. Nutritional Counter Mode: For manual input of the number of fruits and vegetables eaten that day. This becomes an important part of tracking your progress towards your health and fitness goals.
