How Many Calories Burned on a Treadmill?
The treadmill I have has a computer on it. Among the things displayed is calories burned. After seeing the number it displayed for a few minutes of walking, I always found it to be discouraging. Now I know why — it’s not accurate because it doesn’t take into consideration my weight nor the incline of the treadmill.
I found this neat little calorie burner calculator over at SparkPeople. Just enter your weight, number of minutes worked out, the type of exercise and it will display the calories burned.
A note about the two people in the treadmill picture above. I notice they don’t have a book/magazine shelf or dvd/laptop holder to keep them entertained. At least they have a window to look out. They need to get hooked up with SurfShelf.
Here’s a video explaining how to hook it up.
