Hello-
I have a Polar FT1 Heart Rate Monitor, that I want to use while I am exercising. However it is not one that automatically calculates calories burned, it only calculates Heart Rate, and if you start it at the beginning of your workout, it will tell you average heart rate over the course of your workout.

Does anyone know a good way to calculate Calories Burned while using this type of HRM?

Thanks in advance!

    No it's not new, I'm not interested in getting the FT4 as my budget doesn't really allow that right now.
