Question: Question about the eliptical?!?


Question Description:
Im fourteen and i was wondering when the eliptical counts how many calories i burn if they really are reliable? I was just wonderin if my age plays a factor in what im assuming the machine calculates for adults.

Answer#1: unless it senses yoru weight, your age, etc. i cannot possibly see how it could give you an accurate count of calories burned. i suspect it's based on an average for adults.


Answer#2: absolutely, its a reliable calorie count!


Answer#3: It depends on the ellipitcal. I'm also fourteen and the ones at my gym are accurate because it asks you to enter your age and weight. I'm sure the ones that you use are mostly accurate though. There should be no problem! :)
