I love my elliptical machine, however, I do have an issue with it. Everything works except for the calorie counter. I can do an hour and 5.7 miles and yet at the end of the hour when I check the calories it says 134 burned. I hope to God that this isn't correct! I know it's practically impossible to get an exact number but does anyone know an average from some of their work outs or just from information they have? I've checked on the internet on calorie counters and I've received everything from 260-960, so I have no idea. I'd appreciate it thanks again.

Hi...


I assume your elliptical does not allow you to enter your parameters (mainly your weight). If so, then it is calibrated to calculate for a 160 lbs male (I read that somewhere, maybe the 160 is a little off, but you get my point). I personally use www.caloriesperhour.com to calculate the calories burnt. The site allows you to enter your weight and that's a big parameter.
