How Many Calories Burned on a Treadmill?

treadmill3The 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.
