I found this great calculator to judge your calorie burn even if you don't have a heart rate monitor! I DO have a HRM, but some people were saying my burn seemed too high. Well, I wanted to make sure it was accurate so I kept manually checking my heart rate throughout my INSANITY workout and it matched the number on my HRM. Then, I found this site and put in my age, weight, duration of workout, and average heart rate. Even if you don't use a HRM, you can get your average heart rate by checking your pulse throughout your workout and keeping track of the max and the lowest heart rate.

I plugged in my numbers and it was only 2 CALORIES OFF!

YAY!


Just thought this might help some people!

    No problem! I was in the same boat-just really getting worried that a 60 dollar HRM was not accurate DID NOT make me feel good, but by testing to see if the heart rate was accurate and then checkig the calorie burn I now know I have nothing to worry about!

    Glad I could help! :)
