    Calories burned vs effort?

    Posted: 07 Jul 2021 03:09 PM PDT

    So running on a treadmill for 30 min really makes me exhausted and raises my heart rate and according to the calorie counter, I have burned around 350 calories or something during that time, but it really takes a lot of effort.

    If I spend the same amount of time on an elliptical or on a bike, I will be a lot less tired after 30 min but according to the calorie counter, I would have burned much more calories

    I know that you really cant rely on the calories burned counter on cardio equipment like treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines etc BUT those numbers must be calculated based on something. And its the same with different brands of equipment in other gyms. The exact amount of calories burned will differ a little, but ellipticals and bikes will still burn more calories but with much less effort.

    This has really made me curious. Are these numbers completely wrong, or do some forms of cardio burn more calories than other forms even though performing it hardly makes you tired?
