VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Many cardio machines show how many calories you’re burning.
But beware of the numbers.
They can be off by up to 20% or more.
Calorie burning depends on many factors, including age, weight, and fitness level.
Cardio machines don’t take all these into account.
Elliptical machines are especially prone to
Overestimating calorie counts.
Stationary bikes tend to give the most accurate readings.
