    it's not steady state cardio so the HRM isn't really gonna be accurate, and unless you're the OP.. or have the exact same build/age/height/weight/fitness level, your reading isn't gonna be accurate for them.

    Use the "circuit training" entry in the cardio section. It's going to be a rough estimate and you can adjust for how much exertion you apply.

    The problem with a HR monitor in Body Pump is your HR is responding to a mix of Volume Load (which the HRM is designed to measure) and Pressure Load (which it's not designed to measure).

    So either way you are really just getting an estimate.
