    If you have been doing the same exercise for a while, your body doesnt work as hard. Mix it up. Also, when you have lower body fat and weight, your body doesnt loose as much. It also depends on your HRM. If it is one that goes around your chest and you sweat alot then maybe it isnt reading it very well due to the sweat. I keep hearing about the ones that go around your arm. GOOD LUCK

    How long is the workout?

    (Too bad that sweat =/= calories, otherwise I'd already be skinny :laugh: )

    I agree. Try to push your self more in doing another tip of cardio. Great job on your weight loss and good luck!

    You burn more calories when you type with the caps lock key off.

    If you are wearing a calorie counting device on your body and most of your workout consists of motion of your arms and legs, it may be missing the opportunity to count that motion.

    If you want to boost your calories burned before a workout video, take a 5 min run to get your heart rate up first, then do your video, you will see a big difference. I usually run a mile before I do my workout video, there is a huge difference in the calories burned when I run first and when I don't!
