How accurate is my HRM?
I have a Polar F4 with the chest transmitter. It's accurate when reading my heart rate, as I know how to do the ol' feel the pulse and count and it always matches what the monitor reads.
However, last night, I went to an hour of yoga (which was difficult for me, I've never been before and was definitely sweating buckets and can feel the soreness today), and then went to an hour of zumba, where I know I get an efficient cardio workout.
The monitor said I burned 927 calories. Does this seem ridiculously high, or can that be an accurate number??? It just seems way too high to me.
