Polar Heart Rate Monitors - accurate?
I'm confused. I got a really lovely heart rate monitor from a friend recently. And I know that the heart rate recorded is pretty damn close. As in - I take my heart rate manually, periodically throughout the exercise and it always yields the exact same number as the HRM. However - the calories calculated seem to be off. I…
