i love my hrt, its the best exercise buddy anyone could have. It gives me the motivation to exercise for longer when if it was a person telling me to push myself more i would be more inclined to throw them off a cliff

1164? In a body pump class?
The only reason I say that is that the most I have ever burn is 684 Kcals for an hour(Checking with the Polar FT4), with 30 kilos on bar for squats plus a lot of surplus of body weight. 1164 is a great amount however well done you, the weight you have on the bar most be amazing!!

i got mine cheap today in asda, only £19.99.
tried it out in the gym and my body pump class and i burned more calories than i thought i had, 1164!
How many!!!!
Good grief Gina I wouldn't be able to stand, walk or talk lol
Awesome
I haven't used mine since starting kbs, mine is a watch, not good when swinging lumps of metal about lol
Would be interesting to see what cals I used at class, I think the highest I ever got is 450

What/when do you eat to sustain you from these brutal workouts
I feel like I will keel over and get quite shaky when working out on an empty stomach, but find if I have a small something I feel bloated and heavy
Today I had a slice of toast with baked beans just over an hour before class, and could really feel it - not sure if beans was good choice in hindsight lol

looking at my food intake i dont quite think its enough, i can get through the workouts quite well but i eat alot of fruits and salads- alot of raw foods, hmm. think i need to re-think my food intake and increase it that bit more, more raw of curse, but nuts. high cals, and healthy
explains why optislim never worked for me, i was only on 1000 - 1200 cals a day, was feeling drained and lifeless on it. now know why....

Quick Q
Whilst i try and figure out how to wear my hrm as I cannot wear it on my wrist. At class we do 1 min sets for 5 exercises then 1 min rest. Should I be pausing the hrm on these minute rest breaks? We are normally sipping water, wiping sweaty foreheads, and grumbling about the instructor being in bootcamp mode lol

I didnt workout last week so wore it tonight, are you able to help me interpret the figures?
I paused (I think lol) on the 1 min rest breaks, and forgot to turn it back on for the last set (mostly floor ab work) and cool down
time 46 mins (all in fitness intensity, versus fat burn)
cals 443
average heart rate 89%
max heart rate 102% - this bit actually scared me lol
The class is a mix of cardio and strength
