How accurate

March 26, 2007, 04:48 AM

Do you think those calorie meters on exercise equipment?

I used to work out on this older treadmill and it would tell me a certain amount (after entering my weight). Then I'd go and use some newer equipment and it would invariably be higher amount of calories burned. We got a new treadmill and you enter your weight and age and the amount of calories is about 25% higher.

How accurate are these things?

Re: How accurate

IMO, not very....

For my part, the heart rate monitor with chest strap is by far the most accurate. I LOVE MINE!
