Jogging outside versa at gym help please

skyerulz

Hi,

I'm off to the gym tonight and plan on using the running/jogging/walking machine at the gym (not treadmill),It sort of looks like an elliptical. I did a check and the machine I use isn't the the database, can I use the jogging option instead? Is there a difference in calories burned on machine verse road?

Thanks

Running on a machine is much easier so I'd halve the calories.

What they said^^^^ The machines tend to help you more.

I burn a lot less on the treadmill then I do running outside.

I'll go a mile outside and it will be more then double what I do on a treadmill. Outside is hilly and cold and you work harder. The treadmills move for you, all you are doing really is lifting your feet. Outside you are lifting your feet and pushing yourself forward, much harder workout.
