What's everyone putting in for VO2 Max?....I'm a lot unfitter than the national average
I put mine as average, because I've got no clue at all what mine is!0 -
Silly question but how do you turn it off!?
I just left mine on the floor after zumba, and the next time I picked it up it had turned itself off... not sure how long it takes but I assume it turns itself off after a certain period of inactivity0 -

I put the average but apparently there are online calculators that help you work it out. I find this with a quick Google search - don't know how accurate it is though as I haven't tried it yet - http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/vo2max-calculator.aspx0 -
need to set mine up beftor 30 day shred
0 -
I tried mine with 30 Day Shred today. Seemed accurate, not far off what MFP had me at for general circuit training.0
-
I can't tell how accurate it is.
I'm not sure how accurate it is, it doesn't seem to be great at reading my resting heart rate, usually sits between 70 and 100, but can jump up to 200!
ALSO
Does it base calories on the reading it gets at the time you hit the calorie button (times however many minutes the stopwatch says), or does it count calories the whole time you're exercising? Because it gives me pretty high calories, and I'm starting to worry it's over estimating...0 -
well I set mine uop and it said 161 cals for 30 min shred was gettign 222 on mfp0

Mine is 160cals on average for level 1 of 30ds as well, circuit training on MFP for 20 mins for me was 220cals.0 -
There are polar ones on ebay for £15 and under lol0

I got 292 for 30 Day Shred level 1 today and MFP says 304.0

My one gives me more calories for walking than mfp does, but that makes sense because the MFP cals don't take into account the fact that Edinburgh is very hilly!
It made sense in the gym, gave me 300 for half an hour of cardio. I'll have to test it out with something intense like the 30ds and see what it says !0 -
well at least I must have set it up right then lolwell I set mine uop and it said 161 cals for 30 min shred was gettign 222 on mfp

that's what the subway is for right? :L0 -
You maybe surprised, but when i didn't have a HRM, i used to put circuit training in for boxercise or any circuits i used to do. MFP is a lot lower than the HRM, and i do mean a LOT.0

It will jump too 200 if you sit down with it on. it counts calories based on how fast your heart beats... it's pretty accurate. well mine is anyhoo.0 -

I know it counts calories based on your heart rate lol. I mean, does it count the whole time you're exercising (allowing for inconsistency) or does it estimate it by taking your heart rate at the time and working it out there? Therefore not allowing for inconsistency. It seems accurate enough, but I wanna be sure!
ALSO
It's given me a rash as well 0 -
It counts the calories all the time, based on your heart rate at every instant. You can see this by pressing the button to show the calories at several different times during your workout, and then restarting your stopwatch after that (without resetting it).I know it counts calories based on your heart rate lol.

And that's best way of doing it... Otherwise it would be pretty crap since you can exercise with less intensity at some points (thus burn less calories).0
