Whenever I workout on my elliptical machine it says I burned alot of calories but I don’t feel like it was that hard. For example I worked out for about 30 minutes at a resistance level of 10 and it said I burned about 650 calories. Is this accurate? If not, any ideas on how much its off by?
They’re not. Each person is different, does it ask your age or weight? It is only their guesstimate. If you want to lose weight count your calories you put in your mouth, at least food labels will help you with that. Good luck.
