A little known fact is that gym machines OVER-ESTIMATE the number of calories you burn, or, put simply, they LIE to you.
A recent study named the elliptical as the least accurate when it comes to calorie counting, and most machines over-estimate calorie burn by a whopping 42%!
Treadmill : Over-estimated calories burnt by 13%
Stationary bike : Over-estimated calories burnt by 7%
Stair Climber : Over-estimated calories burnt by 12%
Elliptical : Over-estimated calories burnt by 42%
