About This Group
Heart rate monitors have got to be one of the best motivational fitness tools out there. You can keep track of your body's exertion during workouts and compare that directly to your dietary intake. Best of all, you can share your workout results with other HRM users here who can provide great feedback and support. Share things like: Calories burned, Max HR, Avg HR, or whatever other results you want.

can you wear a heart rate monitor all day to see what you really burn?
Can you wear a heart rate monitor all day to see what you reallyy burn?
Just a question.
You can, but it is usually your perspiration which makes the contacts on the heart monitor strap work properly. So if you are not very active for a time, the heart monitor may not be recording anything.
I have actually done 24 hours of tracking and the whole period was 4,720 burned from 6 AM to 6 AM. I knew I needed after that to drastically reduce my caloric intake, unless I exercised that day which then becomes a math plus will power issue :-)
I have tried wearing mine all day while at work and it did not continue to monitor the calories burned for me. I sit at a desk all day, so I was curious to see how many calories I burned throughout the day. It did not monitor either because the strap did not have enough moisture (I did make sure to put a little water under the strap) or maybe because of all the electronics at work. I say that because it just seemed funny that everytime I tried wearing it, it would work fine until I got to work. Otherwise, I like using mine as a motivator during my workouts. I have a cheap one and it seems to work fine for what I want it to do, plus I'm able to change the battery myself if I need to.
I actually wore mine last Monday. I have a desk job and work out at lunch. I wake at 4:45 - 5:00 and I started it when I walked out the door to get the bus to work at 6:00. I wore it through my monday workout. The only time i took off the strap that reads your pulus was when I showered after the workout( left the watch running but obvoiusly it was not recording my HR since the "strap" was off. I have a Polar 6 watch. My work out was 530. I finally stopped my 'session for the day at 9:00 pm. I burned 2,000 calories for the average part of the day --- So on my profile everday Iog 1400 calories of "deskwork" a day Plus whatever my afternoon workout session is.. plus any other activities such as TV, vaccuming, laundry I may do. If you want, look me up..
I always eat over my 1400 calories a day too. It's weird that it still says your over your calories even though you may have burned more than what your normal calorie intake is. I think it's really had to stay satified... I am hungry all the time.
