I just got an HRM and I'm shocked by how many calories it says I'm burning doing ChaLean circuits. I was waaaay underestimating it before. I just finished Lean 2 and it says I burned 428 calories.

    Wow! I was burning @225-290 in Burn, @190-260 in Push. That's just the lifting ones, not any of the interval workouts. I haven't done Lean yet. I'm 5'8" and roughly 168 lbs.

    Wow!!! I am going to have to get out my HRM and see. I have just estimated low because it is mainly lifting.

    My HRM usually has me in the 325-375 range depending on which circuit. I know a lot of people on MFP have said that the HRM for lifting is not totally accurate but I don't remember the reasoning behind it. I'm sure you can search the topic to find out. I still use my number but I'm trying to eat a certain calorie goal everyday and not neccessarily contributing my workout in to that.(not eating back)

    I'll be doing CLX Intervals tonight. I'm gonna bet that number will be high.
