    HR - but you don't need a HR monitor to do that for you - you just need to know the average HR over the course of your routine - and then there's charting available that estimates based upon the HRAvg how much you are actually burning.

    It's all based on HR in the end - but the monitors aren't that great in doing the calculation. You just need to know your avg HR and then see what the estimation is per that avg over the course of exercise time.

    My HRM gives me a way more accurate calorie count than the mfp calculations. But when I walk, my heart rate is up....

    That is based on using mfp estimates for 4 months vs using HRM for 4 months. So I guess my proof would be in my results?
