I notice the same thing with my workout tracker..I post all my cardio workouts and surprisingly Fitclick registers more of a calorie burn than I report in the gym. As a suggestion: are you changing the IMPACT tab on the right of the routine...it ranges from 1 - 8, maybe that may help, and are calculating the correct distance and time. Whatever it may be, keep up the good work. You are an encouragement to me. I am doing an hour on the elliptical and only burning 900 calories...what are you doing to burn fast in little time...

My feelings exactly. I do not like the workout tracker. I just want to be able to enter what I did and how many calories I know i burned. Example: treadmill 46 minutes inline of 3.5 at speed of 3.0 It said I burned 270 calories..this includes the warm up and cool down which is slower, but still!!!

I found that if I entered the distance it lowered teh amount of caloires... which makes no sense... unless Im mixing up km and miles! haha

I wonder if it makes a difference that Im using an elliptical with arms that move and resistance. It makes no sense to use the same number for the small ellipticals as the heavy duty gym ellipticals with more resistance... you could burn more going for tehsame distance and time.

I am listening to upbeat music, and keep a big fan on me all the time, I find it keeps me cooler and then I dont notice the pain! ;) I challenge myself to do a certain amount of calories every 5 minutes. The number depends on how I'm feeling that day.... I just push to reach that goal and then decide on the next 5 minutes... sounds silly, but it works for me!

i ran across the same problem... so, what i do is adjust the actual time i did the exercise... i know its not exact, but it gets my calories closer to what was registered on my HRM...

kind of a PITA, but still works.. hope this helps!
