Hi!

I just purchased a Polar F4 this weekend with the chest strap. I just have a quick question. I take a morning walk that is about 2 miles. I could never figure out what speed I was walking in order to pick the correct MFP exercise under cardiovascular. It would be either 3.5 or 4mph. Even if it was 4mph, the calorie counter would say I burned about 199 calories. My hrm told told me that I burned 324! I'm very excited that's it's higher than I thought but I just wanted to check with ppl who have one. A lot of times I read it turns out to be lower than you think.

I'm 22, 5'4, 176.

Thanks :)
Allie

    Very good question...I just purchased me the weekend as well...it should arrive this evening and I'm very excited to try my new toy. I've heard a lot of positive things about it...and would like to know if the monitor is slightly off.

    Good luck on your journey.
