ACTIVITY POINTS CALCULATION.

[TheNotoriousGAV]

hi guys have't been on here for a while.

during the week i'm strict and keep to my points but get to the weekend and boom is beer time. all my own fault i know and have no excuse although 2 weeks ago was particuarly bad as wife got home from her holiday on Monday 24th september so we went for a beer. tuesday was my friends wife's birthday so went for a beer. Wednesday was my mother in laws birthday so went for a beer. thursday was my birthday (35) so went for a meal.........and a beer. friday was friday so yeah you guessed it. and on saturday that was my mum's birthday and went for a meal and of course the usual bumflufferies that goes with it (3 courses and wine and beer!!!) anyway so that was a week i didn't go to the gym at all or go to weigh in.the following week (last week) i didn't go to the gym much either but went to the weigh in and had put on 4lbs now making me 14st 4. ok so that's the catch up.

the reason for this thread is for my birthday my wife brought me a heart rate monitor watch which i wear when i go to the gym and exercise classes. i wore it for the first time at my spinning class yesterday and it told me that in 1 hour i burnt 927 calories. now when i track my activity on the WW website spinning isn't on there. what my question is, is this.

how many activity pro points is 927 calories. and how do you calculate them????

Do you do it online or go to a class? If you have the book from class in the purple book at the back is a table where it will tell you the amount of points for exercise depending whether its low meduim or high intensity, have a look on the table at your weight and follow it across and it will tell you how many points

Yeah I went to the class the other night and asked the WW leader about it and she said look in the purple book.
I was just expecting a little more science than "did you find it low,medium or high intensity".

I read somewhere that 1 point equals about 44 calories. Does this seem feasible??

When your woking out calories or food, its roughly 40 cals for 1 pro point... When its exercising i was told that its the cals / 70 ... When i work it out this way it works the same as when i put in my exercise using the low/meduim/high
