That is about the same as the "stationary bike: vigorous effort" option.
I guess if you know the wattage of the excercise and your weight you could work out the calorie burn... I might look that up... Calories Burned - Free guide to increase Calories Burned but this just seems to be the source of fitday's data. No mention of eliptical. A good place to get estimate though. |
I can't find bicycling, either. =/ These both should be added.

I have the Fitday premium plan and the elliptical is not on the list still. I'm very frustrated. I kinda regret not going back to weight watchers.

Nope

Its not on any version of FitDay unfortunately. :( Its really a pain in the arse to keep substituting things. Why can't we just custom add an exercise and our own numbers directly from the machines we use?! Just like adding a custom food!:rolleyes: |
I just joined and I do the elyptical everyday. How is this NOT an option? I may be quitting this program too. How can we accuratley count calories burned if we are all guessing which archaic(sp) options? I thought maybe the ergonomic stair climber could be an option to choose? :confused:

stair-treadmill ergometer
I think the option for Stair-treadmill ergometer = elliptical. I looked up a picture of the stair-treadmill ergometer and it looks like an elliptical. :)

I also use the stair-treadmill ergometer. It seems to be the closest match to the calories I burn on the treadmill.
For an "average" person, you burn 612 calories per hour on a stair-treadmill ergometer; if I use the "average" weight of 150 pounds on my elliptical, it also says approximately 605-610 pounds. Granted, I weigh a little more than the average person, so you have to adjust accordingly, but this is the option I prefer to use on Fitday! |
Yeah, I was wondering that, too!
