i just bought a Pyle sports PHRM34. It tracks calories burnt but i'm not understanding
the concept behind it. for example when i get done with my workout, the calories burnt
shows a big number of 116 and a kcal of 31. can anyone tell me how to understand this
reading or if this hrm is just a total ripoff? please help? thanks

    My guess is 116 is your heart rate at the current time and kcal is calories burned at that time

    edit: missed part of your comment. DId you start and go after parts of your workout? Maybe 116 is the total of your workout and 31 is for that segment.

    I never hard of that brand

    Did you start and restart the monitor during your workout? Maybe 116 is the total calories burned for the entire workout and 31 is for that segment if you start and stopped it.

    I'm new on here I don't know if you can post pics on here. I would say post a pic of the monitor display if you can.

    Kcal is just another name for calories.. it's used in europe.

    Not sure why there is such a difference between kcal and calories burned, but I would go with the 116. maybe? I'm not sure.. not much experience with Pyle HRM's.
