Gazelle Glider = elliptical?

Selunca

So, I'm poor (duh, or I'd buy a real elliptical..)and found a gazelle glider for $20. I thought, what the hell. Got it home, and did 60 minutes on it. I felt like I did a workout, but broke only a light sweat.

My problem is, I have been entering it as an elliptical trainer. I think this is OVER calculating the calories I'm burning doing an hour on this thing.

Any suggestions as what I could enter this in as to get a more accurate count on my burn? I go at a good clip, so I was wondering if maybe walking? Any suggestions would be great!

I don't think that a glider is as hard. Get to a regular tempo, then take your heart rate. You can plug this number in, along with some other data into a calculator to get calories burned:
