Is my polar HR monitor correct?
Hi, I have a question about my Heart rate. I have had the same polar HR monitor for over a year. Today I read it after my workout and my average HR was 140 but my maximum HR said 220. Now I have never saw it say that before. Could it be accurate? I am 5'5 230 lbs and 42 yrs old. I was exhausted but 220 seems a bit scary.…

HRM question please?
I have the polar ft4. Are the calories burned Affected by what your heart rate is when the timer is started? For example sometimes I start my watch immediately and I have a hr of 68-70 but other times I may walk to the fitness room and then start it and my heart rate is more around 90-95. Does this affect the calorie count…

eating clean &canned beens question
I am trying to eat as clean and unproccessed as possible these days. I love canned green beans though. I eat them for lunch everyday almost. Do you think buying raw green beans and cooking them are going to give you that much more nutrients than a can of green beans? Is there that much difference in fresh and canned?

maybe silly but I will ask
Lets say I burned 700 calories today and plan on resting with no exercise tomorrow. I only eat back 200 calories of my 700 today can I save the other 500 and eat them tomorrow since I wont earn any extras. If not, why not.

how many do you burn? zumba w/hrm
Ive been doing zumba for months now and I go for 1 hour and work really hard. I come out hot and sweaty for sure. I was logging 500 calories for it untill I got my HRM and yesterday it said 402 calories. That was a big dissapointment. So Im curious how many you burn using a hrm?
