[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this is just an observation that really doesn't make much sense but I thought I'd share.  This is from my Fitbit.

On Tuesday, I did a 20 minute Tabata workout where it's 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off for 8 rounds, then a one minute break.  Do this 4 times. I guess warm up and cool down added 6 minutes. The workout consisted on burpees, high knees, jump squats, scissor jumps, push up, mountain climbers, skater jumps, and a few others.) According to my Fitbit, this 26 minute workout burned 181 calories (avg bpm was 100).  After this work out, I went on the treadmill and did 30 second sprints followed but 30 seconds of slow walking.  I did 10 intervals for a total of 11 minutes.  According to my Fitbit, this 11 minute workout burned 151 calories (avg bpm 142).  Later that night, I went for a 17 minute walk that burned 186 calories (abg bpm 123).  Something must be up with my Fitbit; otherwise, walking burns more calories than the Tabata workout.  In addition, it looks like intervals on the treadmill burn a lot more calories than the tabata workout as well.[/quote]

If your pulse was at 123 during a walk I don't see how it could have been at 100 during your workout. There must be something about the jarring movements that causes the thing to lose its read? Or, it's just wrong. [/quote]
