Elliptical Miles

MissFit0101 · January 2012

For the first time ever today, I used the elliptical. I usually run outside but I wanted a short little cardio session after weight training today so jumped on the elliptical rather than the treadmill. It was great, and I love how low impact it is. Anyways, I was just curious how in the world are elliptical miles calculated? I don't understand how after 30 min it calculated over 7 miles.... I'm an idiot, I know... just humor me and give some real answers please LOL. I don't count the mileage towards running miles but I'm still curious how it's calculated because I think it can be very misleading to people, especially those who actually do count it towards "running" miles.

Is a good guess?

The Elliptical machine i use calculates mileage just above 5 miles per hour (@level 10-12) ...which is what i would run at if i could run a whole hour straight. Someday I'll get to an hour running...i'm getting closer all the time

. But this is an awesome machine on days my knees hate me.
