BMR and daves comment

In reference to dave's comment:

Under most calculations I have seen for BMR my calorie expenditure per hour (if i was lying in bed doing nothing is around 90 calories or 2164 a day. Wearing my heart rate monitor around all day will not really give me my BMR but would give me my factored BMR which is 112.5 an hour which takes the fact that I do walk around and have a desk job. I could still walk around all day just out of curiousity to see what it gives me. Either way that figures by doing the workout I burn an extra 700+ calories during that hour. You can play with the calculators here it is kind of fun. Also some very good info on BMR and RMR.
