90 minutes on Elliptical, HRM says 1175 cals burned
I bought a new Polar heart rate monitor that costed about $100 yesterday, and I used it for the first time tonight on the Elliptical. For 90 minutes on the elliptical, it told me that I burned 1175 calories. I assume a heart rate monitor would be accurate (and I am new to the elliptical), so does this sound correct???
I was doing level 4 cardio setting, the resistance changes throughout the workout but it goes up to 50. My heart rate stayed between 175-185 the whole hour and a half.
I'm having the same issue with elliptical training.
According to my machine it claims that I burn roughly 300 cals in 60 minutes. But, when I log my activity into LiveStrong or do calculations using online calculators it clocks my workout at 700 or more calories per hour..
I agree having watched my HR and running and today had to use elliptical I would agree and my hats off to you my HR was 20 beats slower on elliptial than by running my running is wat yours is on elliptical! I am 60.
