Elliptical Calorie Counter
I do the eliptical and according to the elliptical machine I burned 438 calories...but when I post my elliptical use in my Workout Tracker it calculates that I only burned 128 calories. Which is accurate??

Accuracy
Hi,
Good question. Off the top, I would use the elliptical's readout.

But, in my experience, if you're moderately exerting yourself (not dying, but not able to comfortably talk/laugh either), 115 calories burned/burnt per hour is a decent, informal rule of thumb.

Good luck.

Oooops,
Oooops, Crap! I meant 115 calories per every 10 mins.

I need coffee! hahaha
