Heart rate monitors
Not able to ride to work at the moment as I've changed jobs, so I'm using a treadmill for running at home.
I'm just wondering why I can burn 250 calories on my bike for 20mins but running on a treadmill for the same amount of time only registers about 50 calories? My HR is considerably higher on the treadmill as I've adjusted the speed and incline to get a workout.
I'm using a Wahoo HR monitor with Runkeeper. I'm obviously not recording distance on the treradmill.
How do HR monitors calculate calorie burn? I assumed it was weight, hight and HR but obviously something else is going on.
