I got the wave, which is kinda like a stepper.:exercise:..and whn i put it into the daily plate for aerobic (stepper) it said 710 cals for 30 mins. do you think that that sounds about right? i mean my heart is pounding and im dripping with sweat after only 30 mins, but 710? really?

It can really depend on your weight too. If you've put your height and weight in, I assume you're using livestrong/thedailyplate then the count may be a little high as I've seen when I put in my exercise it tends to be but it just might be close!

Good job!

Hmmmm... I used your weight in one of those calorie calculators and it said that you running at 8 miles an hour burns 841 calories an hour, so 700+ calories for 1/2 hour seems high.

On the other hand, it sounds like this is a good workout that really made you sweat. I would sure keep using the Wave (in fact, I am going to have to look into this thing!) but I wouldn't assume I could eat an additional 700+ calories on the days I used it.

How is that for non-committal? :lol:

Agree with Numina - I'd be a little suspicious. I seem to remember that NordicTrak got in real trouble for advertising 600 calories burned in 20 minutes with the x-ctry ski machines - which also worked the arms. I'm using a 650 calorie/hour figure for swimming an hour at a 45 sec/50 yd pace, but I'm not even sure that's real any more because I can't crack 120 beats/min on my heart rate.
But ... if you enjoy doing it, it doesn't cause physical damage, and it makes you break a good sweat ... it's all good!

By the way, NaughtyMonkey, my hubby (Bob) has a really nasty sore throat/cough thing going on and still has to go into work, but when I showed him your Bob the identity crisis sheep avatar, he got a real chuckle out of it.

Thanks!

I did use the daily plate, and i used the aeorbic stepper exercise.

but hey if it gets me sweating and heart pounding in shorter time, then it works for me! lol
