Today I did Low Impact Series Cardio Super Sets with the bonus step, 63 minutes, 422 calories. I then did P90X3 yoga and added 6 minutes of TRX essential flexibility moves for neck, shoulders, and back, 36 minutes, 81 calories. Total time was 99 minutes, calories burned 503.
Debbie, I understand the frustration. I keep changing heart rate straps, transmitters, and watches. One day it will seem okay and anther it won't. I am sure I do not burn the calories that Cathe has in the workout manager. Even with my best set up I was usually a little under. But anymore I am generally way less. Also I noticed with some monitor set ups I get a closer calorie burn with a lower intensity workout than the harder ones. I put my all into the workouts and even try to add extra intensity so I am sure I am working hard enough. I think it is just the fitness level we are at. Today I kept an eye on the heart rate and it seemed to stay in the 140-158 range but when I finished it showed a high of 225. Now I know that was impossible. It must have been a quick error. When I started yoga it said my heart rate was 0. I just changed transmitters because the other one that I had changed the battery in kept losing my heart rate. Maybe I need to change the strap again. This was my best fitting strap though. I had ordered it in a small because most are too big.
