Do my numbers seem high for P90X?

If it doesn't have a chest strap it may be inconsistent. Wait until you see what it says the next time for those workouts.I would burn about 700 during that programs cardio at 80-90% of max at 5'10 170lbs. I use sportline Duo

My P90X calorie burns were about the same as you. I felt that they were high, but I really had nothing to compare it to. Sometimes I think my HRM is inconsistent, but I always take them with a grain of salt.

ok.. first of all, keep in mind a HRM is ONLY looking at heart rate. you will have lower burns for strength training & ab workouts. secondly, if you are not in the best shape... cardio workouts that are about 40-60min will give you anywhere from 400-900 calorie burns.

i burned the MOST with P90X plyo and it was at max only 470. i am very fit though, and just finished a summer of training for a half marathon which i finished in 2:05. i'm 31 years old, and about 150 lbs.

for the other cardio P90X workouts i ranged between 300-400 with my polar HRM. for the strength workouts i was around 150-200 and legs would give me about 300 (it was the highest). ab ripper was low... like 100 - 150 maybe?

i now have a bodymedia fit which is basically the same as a bodybugg and i am much happier with the readouts on calories because i feel like it's a more accurate picture since it has 4 sensors. it does NOT take into account heart rate, but i feel like the other measures mean more... and now i do get a higher burn for strength training because my new device senses heat flux, and sweat.

I just got a new sportsline s7 hr monitor..I'm wondering if my numbers seem high? Has anyone had problems with this monitor? A couple days ago I thought my numbers were low - It read 391 for shoulders and arms w/ arx. Yesterday it seemed high 700 cals doing cardio x (inc. a little extra time after the video was done to get at 700). Today 860 cals with legs and back w/ arx ( don't have a pull up bar so I did push ups instead for those...extra time also because I had to try to find things to entertain my 10 month old so she could get off my ankles!)

As you get more fit your HR and calories burned will drop. P90X suggest the average burn to be 600.

FYI: push ups do not work the same muscle group as pull ups. push ups do chest and pull ups work the back, if you don't have a pull up bar you may want to use bands, it is important not to overwork one muscle group (chest) and ignore another (Back)

My numbers were higher when I first got my heart rate monitor because I was much less fit. Now workouts that used to challenge me, don't really do so at all. I remember the first time I did an Insanity workout and barely got through the warm-up, I burned a bunch of calories. Now I can do the whole thing (more or less) but my calorie burn is not nearly as high because I am much more fit. Being more fit means your body is more efficient at using its resources, hence you can work more and longer with the same number of calories.
