That can't be right. I would think you would burn more than a calorie a minute just breathing...does it tell you your heart rate?
The yoga sounds about right, but not the other!0 -
I would make sure you have it configured correctly, and that you're wearing the band correctly...and if that's all right, then I'd say it's broken, and take it back
I can burn 30 calories in 28 minutes just sitting here typing >< I'm sure you burned WAAYY more than that.

The wrist watches without the chest straps are not accurate at all...well at least the 2 I tried. I purchase one that was 59.99 & one that was 79.99 and they both were inaccurate.
I would suggest you check into getting one with a chest strap.0 -
You need to make certain the HRM is properly setup. You would do better to have a person who is an expert at setting yours up for you (IMPORTANT: give the setup person the instructions that came with the HRM).
You must write down: RESTING HEART RATE (taken before you get up in the morning)
