On machines like stairmaster, elliptical, etc., how accurate is the calories burned reading? I use the elliptical machine frequently, and it tells me to enter my weight, age, level, time, and program...I think that's it. I weigh 79 kg (174lbs), and it reads that after 45 minutes of the "Kilimanjaro" or "Hill Plus" program, I've burned something like 600 calories. That seems kind of high...any input?
i know its a little late for this post...but i did some reading after i read this because i rely greatly on my calories burned reading from my elliptical...so i found this article.....pretty informative.....
