When I do my warmup, I generally either hop on the treadmill for a half mile, or do this 7 minute warmup on the stationary bike. Treadmill says I do 57 calories, and I'm generally 50-53 calories on the bike. The bike is probably the most accurate measurement as it's pretty easy to measure power output. Treadmill... not sure how it comes up with the calorie number.
Anyway, yesterday, all the treadmills and bikes were taken (made the mistake of going at 530pm). There was one elliptical machine thing left. It only had the legs though, no arm swinging. That thing also said I did just over 50 calories in 4 minutes, which is how fast I do my half mile warmup on the threadmill.
There's no way in HELL that I burned the same amount of calories in the same time on that elliptical thing as I did on the treadmill! I wasn't breathing nearly as hard compared to coming off the treadmill, and my legs didn't feel as tired compared to the bike. Lies I tell you!
