Hey, I don't have a heart rate monitor. For those of you that do, what differences are you noting between what your gym precor reports for calories burned for age and weight vs. what your monitor tells you? I assume the totals from the precor are inflated, just not sure by how much. Thanks!

    Not only are they inflated, but they vary vastly from machine to machine. The elliptical shows I burn way more calories than the treadmill. I don't rely on those numbers at all. I also don't use a HRM, so I can't help with the comparisons. I'm sure others who do use them will help you out.
