    That's what I love about my HRM....you can't trick it! If your not exerting the extra energy to get your heart pumpin you won't burn the calories. I can do the exact same workout DVD one day and burn 600 cals because I'm really putting 110% into it and the next day I'll be tired or lazy and not give it my all and do the same workout only to burn say 400. True Story.

    MFP was giving me 100 calories more than my HRM. That being said, if I don't give it my all during my zumba class, I will burn a lot less. Make sure you bring your heart rate up and exaggerate movements if you want to burn more cals!

    I don't worry about the calories I burn, because with my increased activities I am seeing a loss in body inches as well as on the scale. I don't do any intense workouts. I just do 3-20 minute walks a day, shovel the snow whenever we get snow, which has been pretty well everyday this winter. I also split wood, with a mechanical wood splitter, haul it and pile it. there is a lot of bending picking up the wood. I have done 7 hrs of that this past 2 weeks. I just feel that any increase in physical activites is to our benefit. I feel wonderful compared to when I started MFP on Jan 6th, 2013.
