How accurate are the calorie counters on exercise machines?

Calorie counters provide an estimate of calories burned during exercise.
They will never be 100% accurate.

To increase the accuracy of the estimate:

• Enter your weight and any other personal information (age, gender, etc.) the machine asks for.

• Use the machine as it was intended. For example, when using a stepmill or stair stepper, be sure not to lean on the arm rails.
