Is the calories burned reading on elliptical machine accurate?
gt6303c asked:
I do an hour workout on the random setting on an elliptical machine. I use the swinging arms, and my heart rate usually gets up to about 160. At the end of my workout the machine reads that my calories burned is around 900. That seems really high, could that possibly be accurate?

the amount of calories on those machines is approximate – it’s not entirely accurate. it’s based on approximately the amount of calories someone of your weight would lose working out on the program that you choose but it’s a bit too general to be exact or very accurate.
