LOL, if I burn maybe 50 i'm lucky.. Then again my bodyfat is extremely low and I don't do cardio what is that on a bike or what?

732 Cals in 45 Min?!?!?!?! Machine is broken!

Sorry of the topic here, but how many calories do you need to burn per session to effectively burn fat?

Something i have always wondered:
Do you think the machines reading of how many calories you've burnt is accurate?

I also recon, unless you sprinting the course, I burn around 50 calories in 10 minutes if i'm pushing it.

732kal in 45 could be possible your intensity or resistance must have been extremely high ie the distance is only 4.5km I do 30 min burn +-360 calories but do 10km

2 Cal when i walk threw the cardio sectoin.

machine isnt broken dude, 15% incline,6.0km/h on a treadmil,heart rate monitor usually is 100cals more than that.... also if u punch in your weight etc it gives u a more accurate reading...

Ahh, DJ what does your hear rate normaly go up to, mine goes up to around 160

between 160-165 depending on if i take 1 or 2 heat

Ok cool, just get a little freaky when its so high and my misses is like next to me on 120, just didn't want my heart to clutch out

i swear i get some of the funniest looks from the okes at kings park,i get there at 5:00am,always use the same treadmil...i just put my head down and walk.... dont look up,dont talk to anyone i just go and sweat...i walk in there looking as fresh as a daisy and walk out looking like a zombie thats been dunked in water....oh well...all to the greater goals of like i guess hahaa

enough to put you in a calorie deficit... but to burn fat is a combination of diet(70%) weight training(20%) and cardio (10%) and about 150% dedication and effort.

Put the Bike on 6, pedal at 100 rpm for 20mins. Goal is to keep the cals/Time at 10 Cals/Min.

You are half dead.

Pure eph or some other speedy substance maybe. Heat No. Heat(1) AND Jack3d(1.5) Mmmmm.

Even then - 400 cals in 40 mins is hectic.

BTW - HRM shouts at me when i hit 160 BPM!!! Says i'm dying! So now i leave my age out!

i only like incline walking,those bikes hurt my dingle dangle and if i need a change from walking i use cross trainer....

They are programmed to calculate the amount of work that you do, since work is measured in joules/calories I doubt that they are incorrect values

Those figures seem fine to me. I did a 45min spinning session last night at a average hr of 136bpm (mid fatburning zone, so not high intensity at all) and i burned 555kcal. My last mountain bike race i avg 177bpm over 2h37m and burned 2917ckal. So those figures are more than possible if the intensity is up there

Hey DJ, firstly why are the files removed? and why dont you try a H.I.I.T. session aswell and note your progress and cals there. Is this cal or kcal"s as some machines show cal yet they mean kcal.

That incline treadmill workout is a beast. you do get some really funny looks but when you get off looking like you just came out the pool and you only took 30 min people start to notice...
beware of the calves they burn like hell!
this has got to be the best cardio workout in the shortest time.. 30 min (+-) 500 cal

thumbs up DJ

you guys got too much time for cadio..

burn about 180cals after weight training, on a good day.

I agree, as a cyclist you can burn calories like fire wood. 90min spin at moderate intensity-to-high and i hit 1,600-1,800 cals easy. The max HR calc goes something like this: Age adjusted maximum Heart Rate = 220 – resting heart rate – age times 0.7 + resting Heart rate.

All I can say is machine to machine is a whole different story... Some machines 10 minutes at 12 degree incline and set speed to 6.5 I burn 50 calories. Another machine tells me 100.

So the bottom line is its all machine dependent.. I have no idea which is right and which is wrong.

u mention this. This morning i was doing intervals on the treadmill 5% incline at 5.5 and a guy got on a treadmill next to me. He was walking with no incline and was burning more calories then me, at a slower speed :huh:

I know on those Technogym treadmills you find in VA gyms you need to punch in you weight and age into the machine so it can calculate you heart-rate and calories burnt 'correctly' or 'accurately'
