Due to truely horrible weather I've taken up spinning classes instead if cycling. They're a real killer! Now if I put in my diary 'stationary bike vigorous effort' I should burn 408 cal per half hour, but if I put in 'spinning' it's only 272 cal per half hour. Does anyone know why?

When in doubt go with the lower calorie total. It will help to not go over your total. Best thing to do is take a HRM with a chest strap in and that will give you a WAY more accurate reading than the website. Good luck!0

I have been to spinning 10-15 times this past winter at a local gym. The lower number was closer to what I was expending
per half hour. It depends on the resistance you have the bike set to. The bike computer I was using provided this information during the workout.0 -
