Hello All MFP
I recently did a pt session that lasted an hour and my FT7 HRM watch showed i burned around 940cals.
However over that last couple of days, i have been doing the same workout that i did with the PT and seem to be done in 45 mins and only burn 470ish cals
I am doing everything the same order and the same intensity.
Anyone have any ideas why they differ so much
Thanks

Would I be correct in thinking that this workout does not involve a lot of steady state cardio?
If so, I would suggest that the problem lies largely in the fact that HRM are notoriously unreliable for anything other than steady state cardio when it comes to estimating caloric expenditure.0 -
Well the day went like this
10min interval bike session level 7
then moved to doing some stretches
machine exercise consisited of 3 x 20 sets of pulldown,pectoral machine and low row
during the sets was doing 20 up and over box steps.
then did 30 sec planks with 15 secs rest between, 5 sets.
did 3x15 hip raise with box steps again.
followed by 5mins cooldown walk on treadmill0
