Body Step calorie burn

Posts: 8 Member
I do a step class at least once a week and have been for over two years. Today I wore my Garmin HR monitor to see what kind of calories I burned and it only said 140! I am very high intensity during the class and am dripping with sweat by the end. When I use the MFP calculator it estimates about 500 calories for a full class. I know that calorie burn depends on all kinds factors but does anybody else use a Garmin or other GPS/HR monitor to track calorie burn? I'm new to MFP and don't want to over- or underestimate.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I did a bodystep today in SYD and my heart rate monitor said I burnt 434 calories...however I am a strong built, big girl with a lot of muscle and I went full at the choreography - struggling a bit - my heart rate when over the max limit more than 2times...0

Check if you HRM is programmed right. For example mine asks height, weight, age and all that. Double check the settings.0
