  • Hi Amy, I've heard the cals burned on the machines is a VERY general estimate. The estimates MFP gave me were closer to what I actually burned but I didn't get a crystal-clear idea of how many I'm burning until I started using a heart rate monitor (HRM). I'm more inclined to follow my HRM because it's dialed in to me and…
