    It really depends on the activity. I use a Polar FT4 now, and I burn fewer calories than MFP says for Zumba, but more calories than what MFP says for cleaning or walking. It really all depends on how fast you get your heart rate.
    HRM's aren't meant for counting while cleaning. They're for steady state cardio activity.
