life fitness elliptical machine calories burned?

March 10th, 2010 | by admin |

I use a life fitness machine for about 55 minutes a day my heart rate is about 150 after 25 minutes the machine says im burning about 850 calories but im being told there is no way i could be burning that much do you think this is true

No I don’t think thats possible, for 55 minutes you should be looking at a maximum of 600 calories burnt. If you want to know the exact number of calories burnt you should invest in a heart rate monitor.

    No, after 25 minutes your calorie burn is typically around 250 – 300 calories. At 55 minutes, 450 – 600 can be expected.
