    It's walking or running, but without a heart rate monitor, any calorie burn value is just a rough estimate.

    there's not one answer to this and the HRM is the closest you will come but if you have a treadmill that tracks calories based on weight and incline, take that number and you can add the exercise to your own database. remember to track it down as you lose weight. For example, I do a 10.0-11.0 incline at 3.8 or 3.9 walk. the treadmill tracks it at 10 calories per minute (or about that). I don't eat back all my calories so the actual accuracy is not as important to me as the work that I put into it. Hope this helps and best of luck!
