Hello

Just looking for an opinion here. Would you say that the calories burned on an HRM is more accurate than that given on the WM for Cathe DVDs?

Thanks!

Hi Ronne,

A number of people have posted that the WM 'calories burned' numbers are significantly higher than what their HRMs show. I think the consensus was the WM numbers are inaccurate. I'd go w/ your HRM numbers. HTH!

I always find that for cardio the WM underestimates and that for weight lifting it is either right on or a little bit low. I question the numbers on my heart rate monitor too but they seem more accurate than anything else.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll go with my HRM.
