does the tread climber actually burn 3 times more calories than the eliptical?

I highly doubt it, unless frustration using a machine that doesn't perform the way it's supposed to, coupled with the feeling of getting an inferior product burns major calories.......

Hi I don't believe so, the reason, I don't dare let go of the bar and allow any arm motion. The treads are so small and I have large feet, as a result any misstep off the tread and you are at risk. I am going to a simple treadmill with an elevation function. Seemed I accomplished much more with that.

I have been using it four times a day for 20 minutes each time, and I have actually gained two pounds.

Thanks. Since then I've noticed that it does it both ways. Sometimes the site is higher in calories than the Display. But I'll live with it. It is usually within 100 calories and the activity is usually with in 5 minutes.

I use my air walker daily. I burn 600 calories on it per hr 4,200 strides. Stationary bike I believe you burn 300 calories per hour. On a stationary bike you are sitting down. On the air walker you are standing working you're legs & arms. I absolutely love my air walker. I also have the sunny step climber which I also love. That one to burn a 100 calories it takes 720 steps. Sunny air walker 100 calories burnt is 700 strides.

Dear simon, The incline is only at around 30 degrees. It's like walking or running up a gradual hill.

I read elsewhere that the biggest difference is that with Body Bugg you log all your meals into the software so you get more exact counts on the system every day as far as the difference between what you burned and took in. Also it costs about $100 more. Anyhow - I have also discovered that yoga and weight lifting don't burn many calories for me (less than 200) - I think this is accurate because I never lost any weight when relying on those for exercise and now I know why.

were you able to move your tread climber to another room. I also need to move mine and I can't figure it out

The calories burned by the user is a different (and greater) quantity than what is shown on the display. If you stop moving, the machine registers -zero- while you are still breathing and consuming calories (though not very many). However, the display is certainly useful in measuring your effort, and improvement as you get in shape.

exercise machines are wrong when it comes to the total calories burned. I'd go by what the heart monitor says. It sucks I know. I made the same mistake. I thought i was burning 600 calories on my elliptical and was eating according to burning that many calories and gained weight.

yes, but the resistance not high enough to simulate climbing steep hill. I'm only 150lbs and I have to support good part of my body weight on the handlebar or there won't be enough resistance for a climb. For me, this is the biggest disappointment. Had I known, I would've gotten something else.

I had back surgery and needed to start back with some type of exercise and this was perfect. It counts your calories burned too. It came very sturdy and slides under the bed when I want it out of sight. I can typically burn 300 + calories in about 45 minutes. If you use the bands for upper body it does help get your heart rate level up. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't. It has 3 possibilities for activities--steps, miles, and calories. It also will give heart rate by pushing and holding one button. I don't know how it calculates calories.

You do not want anti-shock. Uphill it takes energy just when you need it the most, wastes it on the release. Level you don't need it. Downhill it does absorb energy at the cost of leaving you not sure of the poles status. Your arms and elbows do it better while providing accurate feedback as to your stability. Anti-shock is glitz for the newbies, I'm afraid.

No it does not. It does though change slighty depending on what incline you choose.

We just started using it. You can adjust the settings for "less" resistance so the heavier you are the less incline.

Octobergirlfma, no it doesn't. It gives time, heart rate, and a few other things, but no calories burned.

It will build a little, but it's mostly a calisthetics workout so it'll mostly just burn calories.

Yes. Mine doesn't calculate the calories correctly or the mileage. There is something wrong with the panels with this model. I was extremely disappointed; however, I made a decision to keep it since it still gives a good work out.
