Most treadmills/ellipitcals tell you how many calories you burn.
Question:
are the accurate?
On my treadmill, I programmed my weight, and I use the highest speed.
It said I burn 11.4 calories per minute.
I was on it yesterday for 31:30 and it said I burned 356 calories.
If thats accurate, then I burned my entire lunch, and then some biggrin.gif
But I'm not sure.

answers of any sort will be greatly appreciated smile.gif

I read that they are not because every body is different. They program your weight and everything, but it doesn't know if you're already fit and athletic or just starting out and stuff like that. I just use it as a guide, not actual calorie loss.
