Thread: Ellipitical Trainer

I went out yeterday and bought an ellpitical trainer, it's was only $70 so I thought, why not. My plan is to do a HIIT form of skipping for 20 mins 1 day, then the next day do 15mins of HIIT on the ellipitical trainer followed by 5 minutes of coolling down on it the next day, and repeat. Anyways I tries it out today and I got alot better workout than skipping, and it said I went 4.06 Miles, but the strange thing is, is that it said I only burnt 142 calories (It dosen't have any system where to put in your weight) while The calories counter on my skipping rope says I burn 200 calories when I skip (The skipping rope has something that you put in your weight.) So then I went into Fitday to record my activities and there was no elliptical trainer there so I just used running for 5mph (cause thats all you basically do on the ellpictical trainer, is running right?), and filled out the thing, 4.06 miles in 20 minutes but that said That I burnt 327 calories, so I came back to this sight and used the online calorie thing here and it said the exact same thing that i burnt 327 Calories. So which one should I follow, the ellipitcal calories counter or the fitday/one here calorie counter?

Ya thats what i figured I'll probably have to eat more, with all the cardio I do.
what's your CNS? When I do skipping I roughly base it on HIIT, I skip for 250 turns then I walk in place bringing my knees up to my chest and turning my side so I get a ab workout for one minute then I repeat that for 4-5 sets.
