Ok so finally my hrm shows up and I'm all excited to use it! I set it all up, hop on the elliptical and start excercising. When finished i compared the elliptical calories burnt to my hrm and wow I was suprised. According to the elliptical in 30 minutes I burnt 314 and my hrm said i burnt 180.25!! What??? Ok i excpected a difference but not that much between the two. Maybe I set up my hrm wrong idk. Maybe the numbers for the hrm are correct? Any thoughts on this?

    I just got mine over the weekend and have been having similar results. I'm doing Insanity and it's telling me I'm only burning 280 calories and I feel like I should be burning more than that. I'm pushing hard and my heart rate is up there.

    Maybe you have it set wrong? My counts are pretty close to what MFP counts said before I got it. I work out with The Firm videos, and the only time I get below 300 is when its just a weight training day (30-45mins).

    I've changed my settings a couple of times but keep getting around the same calorie burn, and this is when I do Insanity and TurboFire! It really doesn't seem right to me. I'm pushing hard and my heart rate is up there. I'm not sure why the calorie burn is so low.
