Tracking your weight is how you can tell if those numbers in your picture are correct.

Do you think my result number is high?

If you're talking about math, the number is slightly off but really close (so yeah, not a problem for calculation accuracy). But if you're talking about calorie burn... I'm not sure how they get the conclusion of calculating oxygen use (we need someone who's more professional for this I guess), and this end number looks really high for me. I don't think I even burn that much from doing Body Combat...

To be on the safer side, I'd rather underestimate my workout calorie than overestimate...

(I like your handwriting btw )

Thank you yeah I googled this and used a lot of walking calculators and then decided to do the formula on my own but all of them come up with close to 500 (always above) and then when I input 0% incline instead of 10% it's about 200 calories burned which I find bizarre can 10% really make that huge of a difference of calories burned??
