  • Ok, thanks. I didn't know that "steady state" was one of the algorithmic assumptions. That would explain why it works on running and cycling better than aerobic dance and cardiokick. I had thought it was based on the integration of HR, in which case peaks and valleys would count, but just not as much as consistently high…

  • Primarily for the reason I stated: Exertion raises heart rate. Therefore I would think the integration of HR over time would be a reasonable approximation of exertion and thus calories burned, regardless of whether you are running, shoveling snow, etc. That's why I'm curious why a HRM algorithm would be dismissed outright…

  • just curious why you think a HRM would be inaccurate in "this kind of activity". i'm new to this. it seems to me that HR indicates exertion in the context of activity.

  • it depends on your goals. when the government send you your tax refund, do you have to spend it? you may prefer to bank these exercise calories if your goal is weight loss and you are not reaching dangerously low calorie levels.
