Re: Calories Burned; Calculated by Heartrate Monitor
The polar is going to give you more accurate results since it has more data points than the calorie counters that come attached to cardio machines. If you are able to enter your VO2max, that should make it fairly accurate. There are a couple ways to estimate your VO2max, but the best way is to go and get a physical. Good wayto get your max HR number, too, since the whole 220 - age thing isn't terribly accurate.
