Heart Rate Monitor calories way HIGHER than MFP?
So I got a Polar FT4 today and tried it out on the treadmill for 10 min tonight. From what I had read on MFP I was expecting to see lower calories then MFP gives me.

Short workouts...
I was talking to a guy one day at the beach and he asked me how many hours a day I worked out. I told him that I may get in 45 minutes a day and he looked at me like I had three eyes.
