I used my exercise bike for a 1/2 hr interval, I am at resistance level 5 averaging about 125 - 130 RPM. At the end of the 1/2 hr, the bike's computer states that I burned around 970 calories!!! I know that cannot be right.
Can anyone give me an estimate of how many calories I am burning and what a good formula I can use to determine how many calories I am burning.
Thanks

unfortunately those estimates are just that, computer estimates. the only way to accurately know how many calories you're burning is beyond the scope of the average forum member. Factors such as age, height, sex, weight, body type, body fat percentage, genetics, diet and heart rate all play a part. Ballpark estimate 30 percent in either direction...."Today you are closer to the person you were meant to become."
