Interesting though - what IS the relationship between sweating and calories burned? Those us of who sweat a lot want to know!!

It's almost certainly wrong. These types of machines are infamous for over calculating.

It's almost certainly wrong. These types of machines are infamous for over calculating. yup they even admit that they are over by sometimes as much as 50% based on new reports etc busting the makers of these machines. A lot of different variables go into calculating calorie burns...ie age, weight, gender, fitness level, effort etc...now take into account the age of the machine as well...most machines only allow for age, weight, gender...they are correct for some people but not most.

That really sucks! I was hoping they were accurate so now i dont know what to enter in my excersize diary.. What would you suggest? Cut the calories the machine is telling me In half?
