RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:
Heart rate sensors/calories counters on cardio machines are inaccurate. Machines determine heart rate/calorie count from a preentered math equation & by how fast the machine is going. The machine doesn't know if you're male or female (males burn calories faster)? Usually you enter age/weight, how does it know if you're 265lbs, but only 5ft tall? Heart rate monitors are the most accurate way to know.
Age, gender, weight, height, body fat % all determine how fast you burn calories. And these are all things you enter into your monitor. Depending on how sophisticated you want to get they range from $49-$149. The brand we recommend is Polar. Visit www.polarusa.com for more info.
