Do you think the machines at the gym (particularly the elliptical) are even close to accurate? If I do an hour at an average of 70 rpm and keep a heart rate of around 142 (cardio for my age), would I would burn 900 calories? I’m just not sure. It is a nice number, but is it wrong?

Hi! I used(and continue to use swiming) to get back and keep in shape. 5 hours/week and not only I lost a lot of weight but also got some nice muscle too in under a month. The same goes for my girlfriend to. Highly recommend.
If you want to shed some pounds, try spinning. It is very intense and strenuous but absolutely worth it. A month of doing it twice a week and you will see serious results – but you need to put the effort in.
