I started using a GWF to monitor my workouts last year and felt really good about calories burned during my workouts. About a month ago I decided to get a HRM. Well, first the HRM(which I feel gives a more accurate calorie burn) showed numbers much lower than the GWF. I was okay with that but realized I wasn't burning as much as I thought I was. My new HRM also shows what intensity I'm working out at and that's where the problem lies. I'm at my goal weight and I'm just trying to achieve greater fitness. I feel that if I'm not in my target zones long enough I'm not doing enough. I've started working out for longer to meet calorie burn goals and target goals. It's becoming a bit crazy and I really need to get a grip but am having a hard time. I'm not doing my "fun" workouts much and I'm sticking mostly to my killer workouts-IMAX, Insanity, etc. Also, I have a hard time getting into zone 3 on my monitor which for me is above 140BPM. Anyone else experience this? Any advice?
