I hope my HRM is accurate for this one, it said I burned loads!

I know HRMs can accurately record cardio workouts and the JM workouts are cardio / circuits, so it should be accurate, right?

    Just got my new HRM, and realized i have been burning a very high amount as well. Around 380 in 34 minutes of Ripped in 30.

    HRMs are intended for steady state cardio. Intervals will affect accuracy.

    I bought a HRM recently for my cardio workouts in P90x and my walk running...While P90X has an average calorie burnout calculator, I wanted a bit more accuracy...Did Kenpo this morning and I am burning load when I am in the zone...it is hard even with a HRM to be perfectly accurate..but it can give you an idea of how much you are burning at what rate.

    I've had 150 calories 3 days in a row in 30DS, not impressed :(
