Exercise Calorie Counter
Are the calorie counters on exercise machines accurate?
After jogging on the treadmill and riding the stationary bike for as a whole time an hour, they said I only burned (added up) 270 calories? But then whenever I’m playing the Biggest Loser game on the Wii or I’ve googled an exercise calculator they say for my weight and the amount of exercise I’ve done that I have burned calories in the 300′s after just being on the treadmill. What’s the deal? I can’t go around confused about these numbers, I won’t sleep at night not knowing how much I have truly burned. Please help.
The average calories burned per hours based on walking a mile at 3 mph on a flat surface, which burns 100 calories a mile and only slightly higher on machines, about 130-150 per mile, depending on the incline/resistance.
Exercise machine manufacturers want to sell machines and they don’t always give accurate info on the monitors. Check and see what scientific evidence they present and you will find it negligible.
