    Oh good, I'm glad that confirmed it.

    To answer your question in the OP, though of course our stats differ, if I average a HR of 152-154 I burn about 500 per hour, maybe a bit more.

    Thats about in line w/ what my HRM tells me. Monitoring your HR will really help w/ workouts in general.

    Also, for the OP... I keep my HR below 130 while doing 'warm-up' cardio on lifting days. For those 20 minutes of walking/jogging, I might burn around 100-150. So you see that when the HR goes up, you burn exponentially more cals.
    For 126HR I think what you burned off sounds about right.
    I am newer to having a HRM but mine is set perfectly and is telling me accurate things. Today I did a 15min intense workout and my avg. rate was 187 and I burned 297cals with that

    great motavation for pushing yourself harder to get great burns

    Ha, good Lord woman! An average of 187 for 15 minutes?! That's KILLING it!
