So today I tried out my new HRM. It is a PYLE sports model. Anyway, I did elliptical HIIT first then I reset the cals burned to start at 0 for strength. So in 1:05 it said I burned over 836 calories. Is this correct? Should I really believe that? I'm between 236 and 232. I'm 5'4 ad change lol. The HRM has all this info. The strength did include some walking between sets. I'm wondering if that's. To much or is it that high because I did cardio first. My heart rate for strength was between 140 &160. Or should I lift weights first and then do cardio?

    That's sounds right. I'm not an expert but it was a vast difference from the cardio machines vs. the HRM when I started. Did you enter in your information in your HRM (height/weight/age/female?). Also do you have a chest strap with it? I usually do cardio than weights to keep a steady higher heart rate.

    Yup I have a chest strap and I have all that info listed in the HRM. I just wanted to make sure I put the info in correctly lol.
