I just started on the Arc Trainer today. It is awesome!!!! I just don't know how to log it into my exercise. It doesn't come up when I search it. Please help!

    The Arc Trainer is my favorite! You will have to Create a New Exercise and will manually have to put the time you spent on the Arc Trainer and the calories you burned. It will remember next time you use it but you might have to adjust the calories you burn because it only estimates based on your first entry.

    Thank you so much. I kind of did that already but just wasn't sure.

    How accurate are the numbers it tells me on the machine? :ohwell:

    The HRM on the machise are soooo innacurate they should be illegal! they differ for more than 50% sometimes!! Use a personnal HRM, or if you can't afford one right now (like me) use this calculator, I find it better than the one on MFP, and create your own exercise.

    Good luck!

    you need to put it in yourself (go in "my exercises"), they use a user data-base....probably the reason why they have sucha vast data base for free!!
