After reading this I am not so sure if these things are really worth the money seem to me after reading this it's alot of hype because unless you know all about VO2 or something it is still an estimate of calories burned. So is it in the end still worth buying one of these? Still questioning myself on whether they are worth buying.
Thanks for posting the article. While no affordable tool can accurately determine calories burned, even the basic HRM gives a better idea than MFP. In all they are just equations, algorithms, etc. In the end I am still glad I purchased a HRM. I have tested it sitting idol, while driving in evening traffic to the gym *my heart rate increases for some reason LOL* and while workout out. I hear the beeps on my HRM during HIIT as well as when I am strength training. The post did explain that which was good info.0
