I need help converting my calories burned

bethdris

Okay so I just got this new pedometer, and it says it tracks calories burned. I was just on my elliptical and when I was done my elliptical said 50 mins and 531 calories burned. Now my ped says 226kcal can someone please help??!!

I don't think that your pedometer really knows that you are on an eliptical instead of straigh up walking.. I use this website a lot..

Heidi-

I didn't think of it that way. (the pedometer not realizing I was on the ellptical) I guess I' m better off going by the what the machine says. I did go that website and it said I burned 928 cals..as nice as that would be, I know I didnt hehhee.. Tomorrow I'll just walk a few miles and see what it does. Thanks again!
