I have a Polar FS1 and I need to figure out how to figure out calories burned after a workout using my HRM. I wish I would've just gotten one that calculated it for me but guess i'll have to do it myself. Thanks!

Here you go. I would just plug the average heart rate that your Polar told you into this equation.
Calories Burned = [(Age x 0.074) -- (Weight x 0.05741) + (Heart Rate x 0.4472) -- 20.4022] x Time / 4.184.
