Calorie Burn

[RebeccaF]

I am burning more calories doing the fit split workouts than Cathe's previous workouts. Anyone else? I'm loving it.

I am burning a lot also! Yesterday my cardiac monitor said I burned 625 calories doing the kickbox, leg workout. I do not think I have ever burned that many calories doing a, workout! I have noticed in the past, that the first few times doing a workout I burn more calories, that seems to decrease the more I do it. Today I will be doing push day, it will be interesting to see if the numbers are different today versus last week.

I think the biggest difference I see is that the rests are quite brief in the weight/leg workouts. My heart rate really stays up there through the entire hour!

Can you please tell me what kind of cardiac monitor you are using? thanks!

I use a polar monitor, I am not sure which one as it is an older model.

Thank you so much! I'm looking on Amazon.

I too use Polar and have been happy with it.

Another Polar user here. I have had many of them, but found that the original hard strap has lasted the longest without issues.

I am using Wahoo Tickr, which I find is quite close to the Cathe calorie counts (within 10-20 calories almost every time), but not sure this means it is the best option.

But I do find it fun and reassuring to see my heart rate, because it convinces me that I am where I should be...
