bethany_h_xx

So according to the treadmill i burned 1000 calories today walking on an incline at speed 5.5
Took me just over an hour and 40 minutes.
Machine said i burned 1000 but apparently they over estimate? So how do i know what ive burned?

If you go to the exercise tab, you can get an estimate there. It asks you your weight & how long you were on the treadmill. It's not 100% precise but I'm sure you know that already.

Do you hold the railing when you do it? In general holding on to the rail heavily (especially on the step machine) makes the exercise far easier. Alway laugh when people think they've burned like 2k cals in an hour on the step machine but they had there arms locked out and were micro-peddling their feet the entire time. Just a thing to bear in mind Oh also depends how efficient you are at cardio in general and how much you weigh etc... far too many variables really

Invest in a Heart Rate Monitor to get a better estimate. Polar is a popular brand (I havea FT4).
