TMW: How Accurate Are the Calorie Counters (Calorie’s Burned) On Cardio Equipment @hodgetwins
Video taken from the channel: TwinMuscle
While some types of cardio machines are more accurate than others, none of them will be 100% accurate. In general, they overestimate your calorie burn by 15% to 20% because they can’t account for all the individual factors involved in calorie-burning. The good news is that you can improve your estimated burned calories.
Although you may feel good after your exercise machine states you have burned a whopping 500 calories in 30 minutes, the numbers are not always accurate. The calorie burned tool on cardio machines such as treadmills, elliptical machines and exercise bikes should only be used as a guideline and not as an exact calculation of energy expenditure.The long and short of it is the calorie counts on machines aren’t very accurate. The best tactic is to use these counts as a very rough estimate and probably assume you burn fewer calories than it.
Cardio machines like treadmills, the elliptical and the Stair Master all keep track of calories burned during a workout, but since they cannot consistently read your heart rate for the entire duration of your cardio session, they have no way to give you an accurate account of that number.A machine’s calorie count could also be impacted by the kind of machine it is. In an experiment done by the University of California, San Francisco’s.The type of exercise has an effect because these formulas work better for steady-state submaximal exercise than they do for interval-type workouts or high-intensity (anaerobic) exercise.
Also, if the user holds the handrails of a machine the caloric expenditure will be greatly overestimated since this reduces the actual work being performed.Treadmill Calorie Counts Aren’t Always Accurate Either Treadmill calorie counts are usually more accurate than ellipticals since they’ve been around longer, and they’ve been tested and validated on a greater number of people. On the other hand, there are additional variables that can make the readings inaccurate on a treadmill.
Determining Figures. Depending upon the model, the control panel of your elliptical displays your time, speed and the distance covered. Since the machines are factory calibrated, the information you receive regarding these basic figures is an accurate measure of your workout. The ambiguity surrounds calorie burn.
Precor calorie calculations rely on standard ACSM formulas for the treadmills, steppers, and bikes. Due to the unique motions of the EFX and AMT, the formulas for these products were developed by Dr. Emily Cooper of Seattle Performance Medicine. For the EFX, the equations consider user weight, age, ramp angle, resistance and stride rate.
For the AMT, the formulas integrate user weight, age.Calorie counters on cardio machines are somewhere between 25-30 percent over or under the actual amount of calories that you are burning.Step counting may have been more accurate with early clip-on devices that were designed to be worn on the hip. “The hip is really the best place for.The calorie counters can be inaccurate—and misleading.
REALITY CHECK When it comes to the quality of your workout, think of the numbers ticking by in.The oxygen analyzer counted only 75 calories about 20 percent less than the gym’s treadmill. Experts said the discrepancy in calorie counts occurs because treadmills take only limited factors into account, such as pace, weight and age.
They generally do not factor in running form, metabolism or specific body type.The Best Calorie Count. The calorie counters on elliptical machines should be used only as a guideline. Don’t get obsessive about the number of calories burned during your workout and whether or not your elliptical machine is giving you an accurate reading. You should not use the information to think you can increase portion size at lunch.
How Accurate Are Calorie Counters on Cardio Machines? The other day one of my personal training clients was completely ecstatic about how many calories she had burned doing cardio. Before you proceed to believe that you really just torched 500 calories on your favorite cardio machine, chances are that number may be right for someone but not necessarily for you.

Cool vid..i really want to lose weight do you think investing in an apple watch is beneficial?
yep i agree. we must kill the bad fat and belly first to get the 6 pack. And I heard that most of the celebrities used to follow to kill their belly using this 7 food items. you can watch out here bit.ly/13bcUua?=zjvzp
“Those who did not wear the fitness tracker lost more weight.”
Maybe that is true for those who exercise on a regular basis but for those who are just starting out, in my opinion, are encouraged to move more. I know I lose weight better when I can see the data on where I am lacking. Like getting my heart rate up or if I didn’t move enough that day.
Guys say im trying to to bulk up and im burning a couple hundred calories on cardio after my workout. Does that mean i should be eating 200 calories more in food?
Thanks a lot for the clip. Really like You tube due to this type of material!!!My best friend was formerly bullied. He said he was gonna get bigger. I laughed… Then he added 40 pounds of pure lean muscle mass. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Google it). He does not get bullied anymore.:-)
I registered last week. Not to mention this mans emails are fucking interesting!!!
@Custom09 Simply put it is not viable enough to even worry about. Everybody will burn calories at different rates depending on how their body processes the food. Be more concerned with how many calories you are intaking through food and monitor the scales.
I know it is, thats why i said fuck calculators since i still have fat to lose lmao
Whether I’m weight training or doing cardio, I make sure I burn 600 active calories per session before quitting. I’ve lost 80 lbs. so far; trying to burn this last 20 with nutrition, weight training, cardio and rest.
Have you tried “Max Muscle Extend?” (Go Google it) It is a quick and easy way to get ripped fast.
Hey YouTubers, have you heard about Atomic Max Muscle? (check on Google) You will find out about the crimes we commit against our bodies. With Atomic Max Muscle, you will discover how to get ripped fast.
Haha I can’t get enough of his intense cardio impersonation.
So would you consider relying on the Apple Watch as an accurate calorie counter?
Yeah he gotta lose that baby fat, and work on his muscular definition.
why did you guys take out that cool as echo on, “You can do whatever the FUCK YOU WANNA DO!”?
If you hit option on the elliptical you can put in your weight and age and the calories will be a lot more accurate
Maybe you’re feeling more gassed and shit on the stepper cuz you’re engaging more muscles and more movements that you’re not used to than for example incline walking, which your body is used to. But hey, it’s just my thoughts man, it’s all it is…
you are correct. i know the bad fat is the reason that stopping 6 pack coming outside even we work out well. But One of my friend working in fitness field suggested me this 7 secret food items to kill our jelly belly. you can see it here => bit.ly/12qRVE7?=sgllm
Treadmill sez those pop-tarts and pizza rolls i ate are all burrrned off!
Those things are about as accurate as my granny measurin’ shit with her eyes…Those things are BULLSHIT, straight up. The most accurate readings you can get are “Underwater weighing” at a university or hospital…..Which these guys probably don’t know because they aren’t legit. You want your REAL fat % then contact your local university. These guys are lean, GOOD job, you are skinny.
Elliptical = highest ratio of calories burned per level of exercise and/or feeling tired.
Yep. You are smart if you understand you need to eat right at your age to kill your belly.btw!but ye I saw an interview with body building champion where he talks about 7 odd foods he eats to keep his abs hard.i found it here bit.ly/1deAvmH?=jfnvb
You know, it’s the slow illustration of the words and pictures that is annoying. If the video was the same illustrations, but w/o the hand drawing everything out, then it would be a much more enjoyable video.
Great information! There is so much speculation on this topic.

CONGRATS ON THE BABY KEVIN!
you guys gonna get him on intermittent fasting?
Shut up, AWWWWWWWWWWWW FUCK OUT DA WHEY, AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! Love that intro XD!
Wasn’t talking about me about being out of gas, meant it for majority of viewers who are probably out of shape. This is regarding 15 incline and I said 6 speed but it was a guess. Meant something along the lines of a fast jog on max incline is seriously no joke which is why I advised others not to do it.
at the moment i do cardio on the bikes for 30 minutes on level 7… says it gets around 280 calories and around 10 to 12km… do you think this is around the calories i burn?? i dont find i have to concentrate on my breathing at all.. i have just started in the gym and i concentrate more on fatigue.. i dont want to push myself too far because i want to make the full 30 minutes, in the last few minutes though i try to go as fast as possible
Legal steroids?? Anyone have any experience. I ordered some cuz I’m skinny as sh*t and wanna make me some mo gainss!
You have to type in your body weight before you start. Every cardio machine that calculates “calories burned” is going to use a default body weight if you don’t type it in, which is going to vary from machine to machine. That’s why you see the variation. Start putting in your body weight if you want more accurate results
I do a lot of cardio but just don’t get any leaner. I stay around 200 pounds, just under 30 percent body fat. Doesn’t make sense
You don’t need protein shakes anyway. Protein shakes help with recovery but if you want to gain weight you just need to increase how much you eat.
I be burning 1k calories at work per day every day according to what the Apple Watch say
Just use the heartrate stuff on the equipment if they have it. I would say that gets you within 50 calories of what it is, depending on weight and intensity of course.
If you seriously want to get ripped, you should do a Google search “Ripped X Beast”. They can guide you and help you get the body you deserve.
runnin for 10 15 minutes a day doesnt eat away your muscle.. for me it actually makes me stronger.. especially right before a workout
Maaan, BMI tells me i got 17.8 and body fat calculator says i got 1% body fat but i still have about 2-3 pounds of fat. Fuck calculators ^^

Hey guys. Nice film.
My older brother had been obese. He went from 283 lbs of fat into 200 lbs of purely natural muscle mass. I used to be shocked. I just subscribed personally as I must greatly improve my overall physique. He used the Muscle Building Bible (Search on Google)…

Hello, have you heard about Max Muscle Method? (check on google) You will find out about the crimes we commit against our bodies. With Max Muscle Method, you will discover how to build strength fast.
You should be a pro wrestler with the amount of selling you did on that shoulder
I’ve had my watch whenever i do my cardio and I think it’s pretty accurate. Just wondering, what do you think is the average calories I have to burn everyday, i set my goal to 600 calories per day, if i have a weight of 58kg and want to further lose down. Thanks in advance.
Hi! I’m Samantha.I did -25 lbs in one month.Go to aidadiet.com
COME SEE INSANE AND VERY GOOD WORKOUT ON MY CHANNEL, I DID IT AND GETS GOOD RESULTS, SO WHY NOT YOU…
you just find one of the best youtube ch……. PAOOOO AUUGRGHHHRR
Get a pull-up bar and try everytime you go near it in your house bang out a rep max of pull ups and make sure you do this at least 3x a day you start doing this you will be making ALL KINDS OF GAIIIIINS. I know it’s hard cuz your 6’2 as am I but the Marines do not give a FUCK
Holding on to the bars while you run halves the calories burned, at least. Bro science speculation, but point is that it’s a dumb idea.
