Just bought a Timex t5g981 heart rate monitor. And while the heart rate seems accurate the calories are way off! It says I burned 1300 calories with an hour of exercise (shred, elliptical and stationery bike). I know that's not right but is there anything I can do to 'make' it right? I have all the settings correct I believe. Is there a way to figure the correct calories burned if you know the heart rate?
