Calories Burned?

Does anybody know how many calories you burn when you use an eliptical (spelling) machine? I tried to find it at Fitday, but all I could find was walking...cycling...etc.... I am joining Fit Zone for Women this week and want to be ready to put it into my fitday profile.... Thanks..... Mandie

Mandie ~ The closest thing I found the Ski Machine....that's probably the best match given their choices...good luck. Maria

You know... I just went back in my fitday account and found that too..I think that is the one I will use...thanks for your help! Mandie

I *love* the elliptical; I have been bummed that Fitday doesn't have it on their list. Maybe one day. Wish we could add activities like we add foods. Oh well. I still love it and track every day! Take care Mandie. Awesome about joining Fit Zone!!! I'm proud of you! Hugs, Lisa

You can add activities to fitday like you do food. It tells you how much you burn and everything . If you go to reports, it will also tell you how much you burned off that day.

I was thinking custom activities. Something we can create and add to the activities, like we can custom foods. Is there a way to do that? If there is, let me know how, cause I can't seem to figure it out! Other than that, I *love* fitday and track my stuff in it every day. It keeps me honest. Thanks Alicia! Lisa

Fitday has a bunch of things if you go to the Activity tab and go under conditioning exercises. THey have all kinds of stuff from housework to cross country skiing ! Yesterday while i was using the crosstraining elipical ( the one that has the moving handles for your arms... for 30 minutes I burned 300 calories and went 2.5 miles)... but I think alot is dependent on how fast you go.
