Logging Elliptical as exercise?

thatgirl17

I just have a quick question, what do you log going on the Eliptical in excercice? I see they don't just have an eliptical option? What would be most equivelant? Any ideas? Thank for the help!

they do have elliptical as an option- check again, maybe you misspelled?

There's elliptical in the exercise database. I use it all the time for cardio. Beware though of the MFP numbers. When I input my time the calorie burn is very high. This is why I bought a HRM.

Yes the spelling is the issue and I too have noticed the default values are wayyyyy high. I have calorie value on my elliptical machine which makes it easy.

Thanks! I found it....I hadn't typed it in to search I had just pressed "search" and it never came up. Obviously the obvious thing to do would have been try typing it in urgh. Sorry lol. Thanks for the help!

What utes09 said...don't go by the MFP calories - it's so different depending on the program you use on the machine and your weight. I have to use a HRM to get it right.
