how many calories do you burn an hr?

I can't answer this question since the strider has many endurance levels and it also depends on your own speed!

That depends on your personal settings. The machine allows you to increase and /or decrease tension. You also work at your own speed.

Just press mode one time and it will show you your HR then press the button "sel" until you see "cal" that will show you your calories burned and to reset it just press and hold "set" for a couple of seconds and you will be ready for a new workout session ;)

There is a defect in these watches. Mine was the opposite my heart rate was rarely target or high when working out and ut qould say I was burning 10000 to 140000 calories on some days, which is impossible. I had to return mine.

Well with a 20 minute use each day lost 2" per month ist , 2nd , and 3rd month not sure on calorie count . Hope that helps

Same thing I wanted! My solution was to use it as running and so I could at least get my heart rate while spinning. It told me I burned 45 calories however since it assumed I ran about .4 miles in 55 minutes.

Yes you can enter your weight. It also does tell how many calories are burned based on speed and distance.

Unfortunately, you cannot see calories burned during the workout while the chrono is running. When you hit stop, you can scroll to "review" and hit the start/lap button until it shows "total cal."

Not at all! Although most of my testing is on stationary bike (with considerable instrumentation) neither stationary nor real bike even gets the calories burned to budge. Even pushing 200+ Watts and sweating like a pig, nothing. Without footsteps it records nothing. Now, interestingly - after hard bike workout then I can get on treadmill at minimum speed and zero incline and it records medium intense activity, where I'm clearly loafing. It also records elliptical at much lower rate than actual expenditure. Basically I think it's a glorified pedometer only slightly sensitive to energy usage. And customer support doesn't even respond to any queries about these issues. Not at all!

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 display calories, but is syncs with most gym equipment that does. As a personal trainer, calories burned are usually an indication of what your heart rate has been over a period of time. That is the best indication, not what you see on a machine. Look up your desired heart rate for your age/weight on the internet... don't trust a gadget.

That question is kind of like, "how long is a piece of string?" - Given the fact that weight loss is 80% in the kitchen and 20% in the gym, there is a good chance that this bike will allow your heart rate to get into a decent resistance/calorie burning zone. The longer you stay there, theoretically, the more calories you will burn. The bike has 7 resistance settings and I find that I will hang out at level 5 with a HR of 145-155. I occasionally jump to level 6 and sprint for 30-60 seconds but rarely go to Level 7. The reason I don't is because it is a magnetic resistance bike and the flywheel isn't heavy enough to maintain adequate rotational force for smooth pedaling - the magnets overpower the flywheel. This makes it very annoying to ride because instead of "smooth pedaling" you get "push - slow - push - slow" every time the crank gets to the lowest part (hope this makes sense). I use this bike every day, I am 5'10", 200 lbs and in good shape - I will use it for a quick 15 minute warm-up or a longer 40 minute cardio workout. It has been a great addition to my gym and best of all, it doesn't take up much space for the rest of my gear. Lastly, I've mentioned this before (on other reviews) but the Heart Rate monitor is junk. I don't really care because I have my own HR monitor that measures HR accurately. Truthfully, I didn't expect the HR monitor to work given the price of the unit. And for the price, I have been very pleased.

Nowhere in this little booklet is the word "calorie" found. It can keep you apprised of what percentage of your Max Heart Rate you are at. My two cents: According to current concepts, to lose fat you have to challenge yourself to get that HR up, 85% of max or so, for several brief intervals, for no more than 20-25 minutes total exertion time. You should be panting. ...Plodding away at a mid-range for an hour to purportedly burn fat only trains your body that it needs to acquire more fat to burn next time.

Yes. Calories burned are calculated based on your heart rate, so you must wear the chest strap to count them.

I think it burns 325 calories. definitely between the range of 300 and 350.

I do boot-camp and interval training, and typical calorie expenditure estimate for 55 minutes of very intensive activity is around 400 or 500. As a comparison, if I run at a moderate pace, the calorie expenditure shows closer to 650. Considering that boot-camp is much more intensive, I sweat a lot more, etc, I think Basis does a poor job of measure activity during exercises which do not involve steady walking or running. Furthermore, the heart rate monitor does not work well at elevated levels, e.g., above 70% target heart rate. Basis HRM generally does well only during sleep and low activity.

If you remain active while wearing the monitor it will calculate calories burned. Just remember the strap runs on a watch type battery and longer it calculates information the faster the battery will expire.

Simple math would say 400 cals per bar. In this case, simple math would be correct. It does look like only 3 bars but I assure you there are 9. 1200 calories is very few but you can survive on that. you may lose some weight but you won't die.
