 |
|
| I just got a polar heart rate monitor, and it said that I burned 100 calories jumping rope (for about 15 minutes). I'm 5'5, 115 pounds...did I really burn that many calories in such a short amount of time? Or is my monitor totally wrong? Thanks! |

| It sounds like it's overestimating a bit. |

| I can easily burn 100 calories in 15 minutes....but I am 180 pounds....does your monitor take into account weight?It may have over estimated, because it is using an average weight of all people. At the same time it might only be off by around 15%...not to mention everyones metabolisum is different, which it cannot account for either. |
