Which HRM do you have?
Lois ... The Polar F6 is a really good entry level HRM. It includes a chest strap but doesn't count steps or mileage walked. I typically only count any "Measurable" exercise such as my cardio, weight training at the gym and (currently) the 30DS that I am doing nightly. I DO back out normal calories burned for sitting on my *kitten* and the rest is what I log as "consumable" calories.
I think that a chest strap is probably the best way to go with HRM ... it counts continuous heart rate ... anyway good luck!0 -
When using an HRM, you usually input your zones. This gives the HRM your ideal Heart rate zone for burning calories and fat. If you are out of your zone the calorie count won't be accurate. If you want a calculation of calories burned throughout the day, I think a BodyBugg would be your ideal solution.0
