Is anyone up for a little test? Five minutes of jogging in place. Nothing fancy. No butt kicks or sprints. Just a comfortable jog while staying in one spot. Start calculating right when you start jogging and stop right after you finish your jog. Report back with:

HRM model
Weight
Height
Resting heart rate
Average heart rate during jog
Max heart rate during jog
Calories burned

I'm curious to see the difference in stats with various HRMs. Thanks! x

    The stats above are my daughter's (thanks Meg). These are mine:

    HRM model = Polar FT4
    Weight = 290
    Height = 5'5"
    Resting heart rate = 80
    Average heart rate during jog = 142
    Max heart rate during jog = 158
    Calories burned = 25

    Mine don't really make sense in comparison to hers.

    You each have your own HRM's that are each correctly programmed with your current stats? Also, how long were you 'in the zone' - I think that makes a difference.

    Same HRM with adjusted stats for each of us. She didn't make it into the zone, I was in the zone for 3:49.

    Definitely a good thing. Fit people generally have lower resting heart rates.
