Q. Any ideas on how accurate the counters are on treadmills and other cardio equipment at the gym? My gym uses Precor equipment and I always wonder how close the display is to the actual calories I'm burning. Obviously it's probably a little closer if you put in your age and weight, but what about basic muscle mass and body composition?
A. They are totally just a toy added feature with no accuracy.
They assume everyone burns energy at the same rate which isn't right.
It comes down to your own individual bodies chemical composition and reactions.
Do your exercise everyday and use digital scales to keep an approximate record. And obviously eat a balanced diet.

Thanks for the site for calorie counter monitor watches but so many to choose from. Any pointers?
Q. Hoping to find some people who own one and what their experience is w/what they purchased. Recommend or not and why.
A. I bought one a few weeks ago just cause it looked soooo cool..it has a lot of buttons (wahooo!) and cool sounds when something is happening, or going to happen, or already happened or something...anyways as a workout tool it's totally useless...oh yeah... it has cool little lights on it too. The heart rate monitor is wayyyy off (if it works at all). If I want to calorie count I have to reset my weight every time and then I have to go double check it on the net anyway because it doesn't seem right (and I'm right..it's never right D'OH!) It doesn't have a lap timer..on and on..I wouldn't buy another one.
where can i find a calorie counter monitor?
Q. I want something like this so when i go out for a jog i know how much calories i am burning. Websites would be helpful or links.
A. There are lots of good websites. Go to Google and type the words "calorie calculator." Take your pick. An easy rule of thumb is to figure you will burn 100 calories per mile whether you walk it or run it. Unless you are really in good shape (running under 8 minutes per mile) the rule of thumb is quite reliable. Good luck!
