I am 64, female, currently 189 lbs. At the gym I love using a machine called Precor, it is a stepper/stair climber type of equipment. I enter my details, do the interval programme with moderate exertion,it tells me that I am using 11.2 calories. It seems rather a lot. I stayed on it for one hour and go over 600 calories. On any other equipment I cannot pass 400 calories for one hour. Do you think it is right?

Thank you.

    Meant to say 11.2 calories a minute.

    no, exercise machines calories burns are typically way off ..

    if you are eating back exercise calories, I would say just eat back half to be on safe side...
