Bodybugg vs HRM for Weight Training

According to my bodybugg, I burned the same calories doing 30 minutes of Jillian Michael's Body Revolution as I did on a 45 minute (very) leisurely stroll with my dog. That can't be right, can it?
I know HRM's have a hard time accounting for weight-training routines since your heart rate doesn't increase so much, but do bodybuggs also have the same problem? I don't really know how they work....
I was sweating and huffing and puffing doing the workout, so it seems like I should have burned more than a walk's worth of calories. Any ideas?
