Smile fitday elliptical question?

my main source of cardio is getting on the elliptical 6 times a week. I've just started using fitday the past few days and can't find a activities option for this.. is there something I missing?

I've been subsituting
Bicycling, 12-13.9 mph, leisure, moderate effort because it is very close to what my machine says as far as calorie burned if I add just a minute or so..

I do occasionally get on the bike and want to be able to have the two seperate and know the difference when looking back months from now..

is there a option for the elliptical that I'm just not seeing?

I usually use ski machine. I believe that's the one where it's an elliptical but the arms go back and forth as well. The calories tend to run low but that's better than judging too high.

I agree with Stacy, I've never found one for elliptical so I use ergonometer or something like that. I'd rather err on the low side too.

thanks I'll try the ski machine and see how close it is to what I'm actually doing.. I'm not really sure what a ergonometer is?
