    I did a quick google and it looks like it's call the "arm cycle".

    that's not really a calorie burning machine.. I mean yes you burn using it- but it's like doing a plank- it's work but it's not burning that much- getting on a bike is going to do significantly more for you in terms of calorie burning.

    I wouldn't even log that honestly.

    It's a curl machine. They are all curl machines. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzxRhtZLItY
