I'm just wondering if anyone knows how accurate HRM's are for Jillian MIchael's work outs? I have a Polar FT7.

    Just asking because this

    "People should be more concerned with the overestimation of HRM calories for anaerobic exercise, which is a legitimate concern, considering how many people use them for circuit training and HIIT and weightlifting."

    was said in another thread.

    It's not going to be perfect but it's going to be around 70-80% accurate. That's about the best it can get and I think that's safe to use for a number to track.

    But it would most likely be an overestimation, correct?
