Thanks for the helpful replies. The monitor is quite new, batteries ok. I used to exercise a lot before a bit of a slump, so maybe my system has remembered that, and yes, my heart rate is quite a bit lower. I will carry on walking but mix things up more in the gym and see if that helps meet my exercise calorie target (500…
