painting the fence -- HRM?

ymbarber

okay, just spent 3.5 hours staining the fence. HRM says 455 cals burned ... would you count the whole 455 yes/no/why/why not?

Thanks

Subtract by 1.3 x 210

Why?

If you leave your heart rate on all day, are you going to eat all the calories it reads on top of what you're currently eating?

EDIT: 210 is the number of minutes you had your monitor on ... 1.3 is about how many calories you would have burned per minute had you done nothing.

Thanks for the edit .... I was confused!
