Anyone else ever use a Cybex Arc trainer? How do you log it? I worked on it for 20 minutes this morning and burned 320 calories. I've been a bit wary of logging exactly what the machine tells me to log but there is no Arc Trainer in the fitness diary. I also don't have an HRM (not yet anyway) so I can't tell exactly how much I burn. I can tell you I did sweat a lot--to the point of being drippy.

Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance. :flowerforyou:

    The one I use has a heart monitor on it, so I go by what the machine says. Usually I burn about 220 calories in 20 min.

    Go with the calorie count on the machine--its pretty close if you input your weight. Cybex Arc is a real calorie kicker of you notch up the incline and resistance!

    I just log it as an elliptical workout, and figure I don't have to be *super exact* with calorie burns.
