Me too. Someone told me to minus 15% from the HRM reading and log that because the 15% is what you would have burned if you were not working out during that same period of time. Made sense so I do.0 -
This made my day! I was starving tonight and my HRM gave me 300 more calories. Now my tummy has stopped growling. Thanks you guys!0
