I am just curious. When I do insanity I am giving it my 100% and I am burning just under 300 calories. but then I see other people doing the same for close to 400+ calories. is that just cause they are in better shape you start to burn more? I know 300 is still alot of calories but I see other peoples numbers and I feel like I am slacking.

    There are a lot of different variables. How they track (MFP estimate, HRM, etc), weight, and fitness level can all impact the numbers.

    Don't focus so much on the numbers.

    ok that makes me feel better. I am using a HRM so I know it is more accurate then what MFP is and the other people that burn more are using the same HRM so I was a little worried I just wasn't doing as much. Thank you
