I have an elliptical machine, and I was wondering if the calorie counter is correct?
I'm a 13 year old girl and I was wondering if the calorie counter on my elliptical machine is giving correct counting results. I normally run on the elliptical machine for 20 minutes a day at 21.3 km per hour (as it records). It says that I burn off 800 calories. Is that true? Thanks for your help! (:
That seems excessively high for 20 mins of exercise...here's what I found for you:
"General Estimates of Calories Burned with An Elliptical Trainer:
150 pound woman, 30 minutes of elliptical exercise: 387 calories
180 pound man, 30 minutes of elliptical exercise: 464 - 550 calories
120 pound woman, 30 minutes of elliptical exercise: 310 calories"
