Oh congrats! I've been wondering for a long time if I should get one, I can't really decide if i need it or not, and I'm definitely tight on the budget.
I'd be curious if readings vary from day to day and by how much, so please let me know0 -
well it will vary with how much effort im putting in, thats for sure. im planning on using my elliptical for 40 minutes tonight and i will post the comparison for that.
the one i got was $70 fyi.0 -
Burns vary daily doing the same activity based on your own level of intensity. Plus as you get better at activities (such as a Level in 30DS) your body will be more efficient and you will burn fewer calories even if you are putting your all into it.0
