    That does seem really low. My HRM said 252 for workout 1.... What kind of HRM do you have?

    That's WAY low unless you're just WATCHING the video and not participating : )

    I use a Body Media system and I average 240 for Workout 1, 180 for Workout 2, and 320 for Cardio. Hopefully your changes make it more accurate.

    :happy: today for work out 2 it was a little higher at 112 cals burned i guess thats a little better. i guess if my hrm is on the low side it will push me to work even harder so its not totally a bad thing

    that still seems really low to me. i was between 203-250 for workout 1, 2, and cardio 1. what are your settings in your HRM? i have mine set for the highest intensity.

    Seems super low to me. I checked your profile and you are close in weight to me, and I burn close to 300.... I would think your numbers would be close. Does your HRM have a chest strap? I've heard that those without are inaccurate ?

    I have a Polar FT60. For workout 1 & 2 and for Cardio 1 I averaged 180 calories burned. Lower than most people, and I am working out hard. For workout 3 & 4 it's been about 210 for both of them. I'm 5'2"...127 lbs.

    I have a polar f6 and I know that my battery in the chest strap is going bad and there are times where it doesn't register my HR. And I only see 00 :( you nay want to check to make sure your hr is registering the whole time.
