| Forum members - if there are DietPower users who do Taebo, would you please indicate the calories burned rate you are using - for low, medium, and intensive Taebo? Thank you! |

| Is Taebo's burn rate similar to that of any other exercise? If so, you can edit a copy of that exercise under the name TaeBo and it will be in your Exercise Dictionary. |

Terry, I would also like to see the elliptical trainer added in the dictionary. I know in the site Laura mentioned (caloriesperhour.com), it says that this is being researched. Is this why it's your in your dictionary?
I always log it as exercise machine, average, if I've had a decent workout, or light, if I've had a lighter one. I know the stairmaster calorie calculation was pretty close to DP when entering the correct weight and steps per minute. Would the calorie burn be similiar to the StairMaster?
p.s. Speaking as a Canadian, thanks a lot of adding curling to the dictionary. It's our national pastime! |

| We did not have reliable data for elliptical trainers when 4.0 was released. But again, if you find good data, you can add them to the Exercise Dictionary yourself. You can also copy any exercise that seems equally strenuous and call it "Elliptical trainer." Remember, it doesn't matter what machine or exercise you use to burn off calories. A calorie is a calorie. |

Hey Deb,
I own an eliptical trainer and I log it as "NordicTrack". Also, my machine tells me how many calories I burn during this exercise, so I just adjust the time until the calories burned are pretty close. Hope this helps.

Calculating calories for elliptical trainers is going to be a problem. This is because while any treadmill burns the same number of calories -- if you're walking at 4 mph your at walking 4 mph -- energy expenditure (calories burned) on an elliptical trainer can vary depending on the machine being used.
There is a study that has been completed and is in the process of being reviewed for publication (the data will not be released until it has been published), but it is for a Precor ET. It's not clear how similar another machine will be.
Terry is correct when he talks about using another activity with a similar rate. It is, after all, just estimations, and sometimes that's the best you can do.
BTW, when scientists gather data for activities at say light, moderate and heavy levels, they may just as the participants to exercise at what the feel is light, moderate or heavy. This doesn't sound very scientific, does it? But if they used test equipment to determine these different levels then YOU wouldn't have the same test equipment to know when you were at one level or another. So in the end it would be dependent on what you "felt" was light, moderate or heavy. So it really does make sense.

Taebo - calories burned?
