Not burning any calories according to Polar FT4

Hi guys

I do all sorts of exercise and am maintaining my weight now. But nothing I do seems to burn any calories.
The elliptical says 300, my HRM says 150. I know machines inflate, but twice as much???

Other people post their 60 minute Pop (its a barre class) workouts, and they are at 500. My HRM says 160.
I mean, wtf!?! Where is the huge discrepancy coming from, we are all doing the same workout.

When I do a 30 minute dance routine in my hot room, sweating my butt off and jumping around, the most I get is 200.

Shred 2 was about 154 cals.

I have a low resting heart rate (usually 60) and it can go to 54 when I'm laying down. I adjusted my max to be 90 - 140 (it rarely gets there and never higher than that). Could that be the problem? My heart seems to stay in the low 100's even if I'm being extremely active.

Thanks for listening!
