Mostly harmless
I was going to post this on the xmas thread but it's a bit of a derail so i figured I'd start a new thread
Wow had it delivered this morning so tried it out on my walk. Didn't have the usb thing to load the info to the computer though (but I've ordered it from the company
).
Watching the heart rate is fascinating (You have to wear a band round your, well it's supposed to be just under your breast bone but it seemed to be my stomach!).
My normal exercise routine is basically just walking. Although I do have a pretty steep hill to walk up My highest heart rate was about 169! but most of the walk between 126-135.
So when I came back, according to the HRM my calories burned were 500 odd. When I'm guesstimating with myfitnesspal it's usually 250 odd.
You programme in your age, weight, height so I assume that it's accurate
although if I'm burning that many calories. I would've expected my weight loss to be a bit more than 1lb & sts's.
This is my first week on my (slightly) extended walks but even with that I must've been burning about 400cals before.
