Question: Are elliptical machines correct?

(Posted by: on 2009-06-30 19:47:11)

I was wondering if the calorie loss counters on elliptical machines are correct. Because I work out everyday on mine at the highest resistance for 25 mins and lose 800 calories. Somehow this doesn& #039;t see possible. Well if that& #039;s true about what you said about them lieing, they should be able to get in trouble for that right?

They 're not correct. They like to exaggerate the calorie burning so you 'll use it more often, which increases demand for Elliptical machines in gyms, which makes the company more money. Edit: I doubt anyone will get in trouble for exaggerating calories burned. I 'm sure somewhere in all the paperwork you get with the machine is a very tiny paragraph that says "Calories Burned is approximate. Actual calories burned may vary. "
