So, I started doing my five miles this morning on the bike and I got SO discouraged! I was going pretty fast and increased the resistance, but my calories burn was MAYBE half of what I do on the ARC (elliptical). I went for about a half mile before I jumped off and went back to my regular cardio. How many calories do you guys burn on average on the bike?0

I find the bike calorie burn pretty low. You definitely need to do intervals to make sure you are getting your heart rate up and burning extra calories (the biggest reason I skip it. Oh and cyclist thighs. :P I already have big quads!)0 -
I did my 5 miles in 20.02 minutes and burned 163 calories.

Yes, I entered my weight.
I seemed to average 10 calories in 2 minutes.... on the ARC, in 20 minutes I burn between 190-220 calories depending on how hard I work.0 -

How many calories did you burn?
