Apologies in advance if this has been covered loads of times before is is outstandingly obvious, etc...

I'm in the UK and used to use the gym regularly but have had a lapse of several years. I've just restarted, and now that I'm on MFP I want to enter the details.

However the machine names as used in my gym aren't found when I search the MFP database, or sometimes there things that sound similar and I assume are the same but would like to check.

Today's list is as follows:

Cross trainer - does this equal elliptical traner?

Lateral pull down - same as lateral arm raise?

Pec deck - same as chest press?

Adductor - can't find an equivalent

Abductor - can't find an equivalent.

In fact the only ones which were obvious were abdominal crunches on the machine and leg extensions.

As a further complication, my gym weights are in kilos, but on MFP when I can find something - like leg extension, - the weight is in pounds.

None of my entries show any calorie burn (which is probably fair enough at the moment! But I intend to work my way back up).

All assistance appreciated
:love:

    Bump. Other people must have come across this surely? Not everyone has an HRM...
