yet another hrm question
So, earlier this year I bought a stationary bike. This bike came with a built in hrm. You put in your height, weight, age etc, put on the chest strap that came with it, and it reads the signal coming from the chest strap. I always assumed this would be reasonably accurate. This week I bought a Polar Ft40 hrm watch for when…

One Hundred Push Ups Challenge?

calorie burn discrepancies
Currently my primary form of exercise is to go for about 45 minutes, at a not terribly fast rate of speed (9-11 miles every time) on my stationary bike. The bike I have tells me how many calories I have burned, and it has a heart rate monitor using either a chest strap or the sensors on the handlebars (I use the chest…
