How many WW Activity Points would you say I earned?

If I worked out for 1 hour on the Elliptical and burned 740 Calories? I said 5 just to be safe... Just curious what you would say. Thanks!

LOL I don't think you get THAT many! I would say 2 points just to be safe. It also depends on how much you weigh. But FH was working HARD and when he'd put his activity points in the search engine, he was only getting 3 points and guys get WAY more than girls.

Yeah, hmm, I never know for sure and I wish there was a way to put in your weight and calories you burned, ya know??? How much easier would that be!? :)

I just said 5 points because when you do the highest intensity for my weight for a length of time, it ends up being a point for every 10 mintues...so an hour would be 6 points, and I know I kicked my *** on that machine, but I said 5 to be safe :)

I cant remember exactly and can't find my WW book but it definitely isn't high. I think you get a point for every 1/2 hr of med intensity or close to that. And don't go by the calories burned on the machine.....they are not accurate and most times over state what you actually burned.

Wow that eliptical calorie burn count seems out of control. Unless you are extreamly overweight and working well above your target heart rate zone for the full hour it would be pretty hard to burn 740 cal in an hour as a female. Possible but really hard.

I'm not sure about ww points but it looks like you got some really good answers.

An hour long non stop cardio workout is still really good. My guess is you burned probably more like 5-600 calories.

I agree about the calorie burn being too high. Also, while I was on WW, which I'm not now and should be, I was told not to really use the activity points.

not to burst your bubble but those elliptical calorie counters are wayyyy off. I think the only way you would burn 750 calories in 1 hour is if you are male and and weigh 300 pounds.
