I have a SportLine Duo for women. The HRM lets me input all of my personal info such as weight, height, age, activity level, target heart rate, and etc. It also has a chest strap that's suppose to get accurate readings. When I do about 30 minutes of cardio (p90x cardio video, kenpo and plyo) It says that I burn around 400 calories. When I do some weight lifting/strength training it says that I burn around 750 calories. Most of the time, by the end of the day, my calorie tracker says that I have burned around 1,170 calories. I feel like it would be accurate with the chest strap and all of the info I am allowed to input for accurate readings. It just seems so unbelievable sometimes. I am working hard. I am working out an hour and thirty 6 x a week and soaking in sweat by the end of my workouts. I am overweight and out of shape (F 30;148 lb). I am only 4 weeks into my weight loss journey and I have lost 2 pounds so far. I assume that maybe since I am so out of shape that I might burn more in the beginning. Does this seem accurate or should I invest in a more expensive/accurate hrm? Any advice would be appreciated.
