Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

depends on the intensity, your body weights, etc.

for me, it's about 300 calories.

Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

that's about right for me..I do level 9 for 30 minutes.

If I do HIIT on it for 20 minutes I burn about the same and that level.

Where do I get this information based on my weight???? Don't laugh but I only do intensity 4 or 5.

Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

you should be able to plug in you age and weight on the machine- or at least your weight

if it doesn't let you put you weight in- then subtract 20% from what calories it says you burn

for 30 minutes I normally burn between 300 and 350 calories

Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

The machines are really inaccurate though, especially ones that don't take your heart rate into consideration.

You could be doing a level 5 really fast and your heart rate is at 180, and someone else, with your same weight can be doing the same thing and their heart rate is 160. You'd be burning a ton more calories.

Thanks!!! I got it! So, what about circuit training??? Any ideas on that???? Sorry to be a PIA. Just want to be accurate.

Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

I ususally brun about 300 too. I think there are a lot of factors, like weight, speed, incline, resistance, etc. I dont know about circuit training. I am curious to know too.

Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

that's so funny you ask b/c i just did that last night. fh and i go together to the gym (he just joined, i joined about a few months ago--this particular gym). we love it (synergy in ft. salonga)...

for him, he burned about 311 calories for 32 minutes-- he was on quick start, resistance level #3... for me, i was on for 30 minutes and burned 289 calories on resistence level #1, quick start also.

Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

I usually burn 300 per 30 minutes. It all depends thought on your crossramp and resistance.. i do the gluteal program (need to work out he behind) and which goes up to the max crossramp, and i do a resistance of 6.

Re: NWR-Anybody know how many calories.....

I did 34 minutes on the precor last night and burned 375. A half hour for me is usually around 300.

The elliptical burns more for me, a half hour will yield me close to 350-400 calories
