    That's a really great burn!!!! I wouldn't be unhappy with that! :)

    When I want to burn more, I usually raise the incline and resistance.

    That really is a good burn for 30 minutes. Why do you think it should be higher?

    Yes, that is VERY good! When I am feeling up to it (at LEAST twice a week is my goal!!) I do a full 60 minutes and my burn is usually between 700-750 calories total.

    Go faster, on a harder level and wear a weighted vest
