Just entered stats into HRM calculators & burnt more

With all the discussions re. HRM I just entered some data based on some exercise today.

I used this and another both giving me the same information http://www.calories-calculator.net/Calories_Burned_By_Heart_Rate.html

So the machine gave me a calorie burn of 150 based on my weight only, this gave me a calorie burn of 249. I also used another http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/vo2max-calculator.aspx working out my VO2 - please don't ask me what this is but I am assuming it deducts how many calories my body would expend during that duration regardless of me doing any physical activity, anyway with VO2 taken into account my calorie burn was 223!!

So, quite a difference. Therefore based on this I cant wait for my HRM watch / chest strap to arrive tomorrow!

Certainly interesting all this science
