    elliptical trainer.
    Be careful MPF VASTLY overestimates the cals burned for me and I invariable end up soaked in sweat barely able to stand.

    Yep snowbike is right Elliptical trainer it is.

    I found MFP quite accurately estimates my cal burn whereas my trainer vastly UNDERestimates what my HRM states.

    I guess people are different, but best to trust my HRM says :smile:

    Interesting. After a 25 minute workout, my cross trainer informs me that I have burned over 500 calories (if only!). The calories on MFP for 25 minutes on an elliptical trainer are quite accurate for me.

  • Thanks :)
