So I have no an elliptical proform xp. I use it all the time and i feel like maybe it rates higher than normal as far as calories burned. I know i should get an hrm but im too broke. So anyways, for expample, when I get on for 40 minutes it normally says I burn 5-600 calories. MFP says its about 450 calories. I see everyone saying that even MFP's rate is high and I am also aware it is different for everyone because of body type, heart rate, ect.I was just wondering if anyone else has the same kind of ellipctical and if you can tell me if you know about it's accuracy.

    I found that, compared to my HRM, the numbers on the elliptical were low if I pushed myself to a really vigorous workout (HR > 170), but high if I only had a moderate to light workout (HR 155ish).
