    Women: C/min = (-20.4022 + 0.4472 x HR + 0.1263 x weight + 0.074 x age) / 4.184
    weight is in kg

    http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/calculators/calories-burned-calculator-based-on-average-heart-rate/

    hope this helps

    The figure you end up with at the end of that calculation is how many calories in how much time? Would it be calories per minutes, hour or what?

    :flowerforyou:

    Yes, calories per minute. Although I found it to be really really high.

    :noway: thanks!

    ::::runs off to get calculator:::

    okies, well it's wrong somewhere, because my total equals: 101.949808.

    Although that would be lovely..... 101.949808 calories per minute would have me like a walking skeleton after a few days.

    I just got mine and used it for the first time today. It is a GSI, it was on sale for $30 on Amazon and had good reviews, it calculates calories burned and I didn't want to spend a ton either!

    Ok, this is what I found easiest and most realistic:

    Used this link for the calculator:
    http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/calculators/calories-burned-calculator-based-on-average-heart-rate/

    But found it really high without the VO2max so found that by doing this:
    (max heart rate/resting heart rate) x 15 = VO2max

    And to work this out I needed to find out my max heart rate, so I found out by doing this:
    220 - age = my max heart rate

    And with all that I could use the calculator.

    Now I need a lie down!!!

    I had the basic target fitness HRM and used the calculator on the triathlon training site. Now that I have the next model up that does count the cals for you, I find that the calculator on the site gave a much higher reading but that was probaby because I didn't put in my Vo2 max.

    Regarding Polar HRMs, FT4 and above calculate calories.

    FT4 and FT7 appear to be very popular on MFP, I recently bought the Polar FT4f from Amazon, it calculates calories a treat. I have called it Lottie and I luffs it. :heart:

    Love it! I'm hoping to get my FT4 in the mail today. Now she needs a name :drinker:
