Calories Burned Walking on Treadmill...seems like a lot
I normally do the majority of my cardio on my ellipitcal and during an hour session on low-medium intensity and according to my HRM I burn about 390-440 calories. Now, I just got a treadmill last week for a little bit of change and during an hour on 10% incline @ 3mph I burn about 460 calories. I also move my arms back and…

I love losing 2 lbs in an hour

I'm leading two spin classes this semester and so far it is going well (if they could ever get the room key situation sorted out it would be fantastic). Spinning is how I originally lost 70 lbs in 7 months attending 2 spin classes a week and only…

HRM calories burned seem huge!
I have just invested in a Polar FT4 HRM. I wore it for the first time tonight, after setting it up, and it showed calories burned to be 555 for an interval boxing session and 610 for a 1 hour session of Zumba. This seems excesive, as using MFP I usually calculate the boxing (using 'boxing on bag' 30 mins) at around 200…

I weigh more than 350# so going for these great walks is hard on my knees, so until I can my goal has been just to be more active. So I…
