Help!! Do you guys trust your Timex HRM?
Hey, I just bought a Timex HRM (with Cheststrap). I've started running with it and I find that if I run for... say... 25 minutes, it will say that I have burned around 600 calories. Could this be right? It seems high so I always take off 150 calories (no idea why I picked the number 150) Thanks you guys!
