I have an HRM, but it doesn't calculate calories burned. It does have the chest strap and watch. I bought it years ago when I was pregnant to monitor my heart rate when exercising. Does anyone have a formula I can use so I can use my HRM while working out and then calculate my calorie burn? I didn't google this yet, hoping someone has it handy :)
Thanks

    I've heard this is pretty accurate and it is what I use since I have the same type of HRM :)http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm

    It is ok if you are doing something with a steady heart rate, could get tricky if you are doing intervals :wink:

    Thanks. I am doing P90X right now and wanted to try and figure out my calorie burn.
