england asked:


I bought one of those heart rate monitors with a watch and I like it but after a 45 minute spinning class and 30 minutes walking back home the calories burned said 950. I think that’s way too much and not accurate. Am I wrong? What are other people’s experiences? I’m 5’6 and 70 kilos/155 lbs Thanks!

Did you configure the settings correctly? Which model do you have? For mine, I have to include sex, height, weight, and age. I haven’t had any problems with the measurements.
