I'm just not sure what that number would be.

I would bet you'd have to get a special HRM for this. The one I have is designed for exercise (like most I would wager) and it needs some water/sweat for the contacts. It also seems to go off or not be able to read my HR when I get to regular, just hanging around, levels. Besides that, it's not really comfortable for every day use since it needs to be tight to contact with your body. I guess you could get a wrist one. I think a pedometer is probably the best thing. When I was at my old job it was great encouragement to get some more steps. Now I have to walk a lot and wear a suit all day, so I can't really wear it now. I need to find a more discrete one that goes with "suit"
